music — the pool, of coolness and 
tranquility and slowly moving fish —

GROUND COVERS 
Often the finest plants, though in the right position, fail to create the landscape effect we desire. Like the separate parts of a prefabricated house they 
must become a united part of the whole for their true worth to be recognized. GROUND COVERS tie together and unite the various plantings to 
make a more harmonious and pleasing garden treatment. This group may be used under plants, where grass will not grow, siady places, along walks.
