1 LAWN CHAMOMILE 
It will yield aromatic fern-foliage in low, ground-covering 
mats, and it has been used effectively as a grass substitute 
in odd corners, small lawns and difficult spaces. In late spring 
there are little white daisies on thin, 6-inch stems. If the 
flowers are not wanted, they are readily removed by clipping, 
and only this one clipping is needed through the entire sea- 
son. The seeds should, be sown outside in late fall or in early 
spring, for they germinate most readily while the soil is cool. 
The plants increase rapidly, new crowns spreading from old, 
and stems rooting in so that small plants placed a foot apart 
will soon fill the intervening space to form a rather close, 
low, green turf. The seeds are fine. Do not broadcast. Sow in 
beds or flats, and later transplant plants to stand a foot 
apart Ne “kt” culture. Pkt. 20c; 46 oz. 35¢e; % oz. 60c; 
OZ. -00.
