ARCTOSTAPHYLOS 
Bearberry 
Uva-ursi. A most interesting story about bears 
and their fondness for the grape-like berries of 
this plant is responsible for its common name. 
Handicapped by its botanical name, this useful 
low-growing, gray-green-foliaged ground-cover 
has not been as popular as it deserves to be. 
For covering rocky slopes and sandy banks, 
very few plants can equal it for effectiveness.

$20.00.

This illustrates Armeria cephalotes rubra but the 
supply is very limited. However, the fine new 
Armeria, Glory of Holland, now available in quan- 
tity, is the same color but the flowers are borne on 
taller stems from a more bushy, compact plant; 
considered a greatly improved Cephalotes rubra.

mendation. 3 for $1.35.
