Ground Covering Plants 
Just as their name implies, the following plants are suit- 
able 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 pros- 
tate, spreading out as they enlarge to cover a greater area 
of ground each year.

reached by the trees and shrubs under favorable 
conditions. 
TREES B&B (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 “B&B,” 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 consid- 
erable time, labor, and soil are involved, balling and bur- 
lapping will be charged. Prices quoted on request. 

Five or more plants of the same variety and size 
at ten rate; 25 or more at 100 rate.
