Ground Covering Plants 
Just as their name implies, the following plants are suitable 
for covering the ground under trees and other places where 
grass won’t grow. Although primarily foliage plants, some have 
blooms. Some have roots that spread and send up new top 
growth, some spread by sending out trailers that take root, and 
others merely grow more or less prostrate, spreading out as they 
enlarge to cover a greater area of ground each year.

TREES BSB (Balled and Burlapped) 
Unless otherwise marked “B&B” (Balled and Burlapped), 
trees are dug bare rooted when dormant. Should balling and 
burlapping be desired on trees not marked “BGB,” an extra 
charge will be made. 
Heights given with caliper measurements are general average 
and are approximate only. Where no caliper is given, the height 
is the governing measurement. 
After the regular bare-root digging season is passed, this 
material must be dug with a ball and, since considerable time, 
labor, and soil are involved, balling and burlapping will be 
charged. ; 
Prices quoted on request. 
Note. — Figures after the names give approximate heights 
reached by the trees and shrubs under favorable conditions.
