THYMUS (Tym’-us)—Thyme 
Valuable plants having many uses such as carpeting, dry 
banks, covering barren exposed spots in the rockery, wall 
planting, covering the bulb bed or spring bulbs planted 
in rockery or border, between stepping stones, etc. All 
have evergreen aromatic foliage, and bloom profusely. An 
occasional shearing is beneficial.

bright spots in the rockery or border the year around. 
Lemon scented.

VERONICA (Ver-on’-i-ka)—Speedwell 
A family whose value is greatly underrated. For rockeries, 
walls, banks, edging, etc., the dwarf members of the great 
clan are of outstanding importance. All are of the very 
easiest culture and bloom with such abandon as to rank 
them, in our opinion, among the very best of low growing 
plants. The taller sorts are useful in the border and their 
spikes of bloom work nicely in mixed bouquets.

numerable rose flowers. 40c each; 3 for $1.10

VINCA (Vin’-ka)—Periwinkle 
A very useful and ornamental evergreen vine quickly 
forming a dense ground cover of glossy foliage. Its adapta- 
bility to both sun and shade make it extremely useful. It 
flourishes under trees where grass will not grow and on 
steep banks it will make a tidy evergreen lawn that does 
not need to be mowed. It is used extensively in cemetery 
plantings and should find a home on every wall or large 
rockery. 
*alpina—A fine new and still quite rare sort having lighter 
colored leaves and very double red flowers. Perfectly 
hardy anywhere.

searce. A lovely sort in great demand.

and green variegated leaved sort. A valuable plant lending 
a touch of color to the winter garden. 
*minor, Bowles Variety — A new European variety with 
broader foliage and heavier gloss. The flowers are larger 
and deeper blue. A profuse bloomer. 
A0c each; 3 of one kind $1.10 
One each of the 5 Vincas $1.85; 3 each $5.25 
VIOLA (Vy’-o-la) CORNUTA—Tufted Pansy 
The tufted pansies are among the most persistent bloomers 
of all hardy plants. Given a rich soil with plenty of moisture 
they will bloom continuously from early spring until freez- 
ing time in the fall. Cut all straggling branches back to force 
new growth and do not allow to seed.
