Ground Cover Plants 
You will observe that we grow a number of plants for ground cover purposes. None 
ere more practical than Pachysandra and Vinca which we grow in quantity. 
Wherever you have an area too shady for grass to grow successfully or to small to 
bother to mow, a green carpeting of either of these plants is a good treatment and 
provides an attractive effect at any season. They are ordinarily planted at the rate of 
Mountain Laurel 3 plants to each square foot of area for reasonably quick results.
