Prevent Erosion on 
Steep Banks 
Eventually one plant will cover 
a large area, but on banks it 
is important to get the soil held 
quickly. We suggest bad steeps 
be planted 12 inches apart each 
way—gentler slopes 112 feet, ex- 
cept as noted on descriptions. 
Steep slopes can be put into 
grass and mowed. But it is 
constant work and worry. The 
following plants do the job 
better.

rigorously pruned without the 
least harm.
