A New Thyme for Many Purposes .. . 
SICILY THYME 
We have been growing Thymus vulgaris “Sicily” (Sicily Thy- 
me), for three years and it has produced such satisfactory results 
for us that we are now introducing it for garden use this spring. 
We feel certain that its many fine and unusual features will 
satisfy you, too. 

Thymus vulgaris “Sicily” is a 
low (6 to 9 inches) distinctly 
spreading type forming a low 
mound. 
It is evergreen for year-round 
attractiveness. 
Its fine texture contrasts plea- 
santly with other plants, rocks, 
etc. 
Prospers in warm sunny places 
and on dry bankings. 
Will grow and spread where 
grass will not succeed. 
Ideal for a low border in the 
garden. 
Unsually effective when used 
in front of evergreen and 
shrub plantings. 
Grows so rapidly that its cost 
is low compared with other 
evergreen ground covers.

TEUCRIUM Germander 
A small shrub-like plant of moderate growth with dark shiny 
leaves. Its evergreen foliage resembles Dwarf Boxwood but may be 
used in places where Boxwood is not hardy. Teucrium is ideal for 
an edging and can be trimmed to any height up to one foot. When 
planted six inches apart it rapidly makes a solid edging. We grow 
them by the thousands.

VINCA Periwinkle, Myrtle 
The dark evergreen glossy foliage of the Myrtle completely covers 
the ground in shady places. Add to this quality, its attractive flowers, 
and we can understand its popularity as a ground cover. Planted six 
or eight inches apart they soon grow into a solid mat.
