THYMUS (Thyme) 
*Serpyllum coccineus—A prostrate sub-shrub that is excellent 
for growing in stone walls or between rocks. True green 
shiny foliage, a most attractive low growing plant.

ample moisture and extremely showy planted in groups of 
two or three.

Veronica Spicata which has retained the glorious dark color

particular season are rather scarce.

lavender flowers in late May. Is an excellent ground cover or 
filler between stones in a rock garden. 
VIOLA 
Violas like a moist loamy soil but do well under average soil 
conditions. They also like afternoon shade but this is not 
strictly essential. In early August cut off all long flowering 
runners about 3 inches from plant and they will continue to 
produce flowers all fall. Where low-growing, continuous 
blooming is desired, plant Violas. 
*Jersey Gem—The peerless Viola that blooms from April 
until snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a 
delicious fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any 
good garden soil, but must have full sun for best results.

showing a relieving spot of golden yellow. Flowers attain 
a size of 3 inches across produced on graceful stems 7-8

*“The King’s Ermine—A beautiful white hardy garden Violet 
coming into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom 
very freely for many weeks. Throat a rich purple.

because it is a grand grower and a gem for a shady loca- 
tion. The flowers borne on long stems make a very attrac- 
tive corsage.

One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick 
trailing growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early 
Spring and occasionally through the Summer.
