Ground Cater iy tants 
There are places about most homes where 
grass is difficult to maintain and a ground cover 
plant of another sort is needed. Slopes, banks, 
narrow strips and shady spots present problems. 
Ground Covers around evergreen plantings look 
well and make cultivating unnecessary. Many 
are excellent for terrace planting or to use in 
front of a low window. 
These plants are listed elsewhere in the catalog, 
sO we are not repeating descriptions here. 
Any of the vines listed, excepting Hybrid 
Clematis varieties, are suitable ground covers.
