This year it has seemed impractical to publish a catalog as we have done 
in the past. A thousand kinds of plants are not easy to condense into a 
few short pages of description. 
Constant shifting of prices due to changes in stock has made it impossible 
to stabilize a list. If you will keep this in mind when ordering, it will 
be appreciated. When possible, please state acceptable substitutes. May 
we urge all of our good friends and customers to write for quotations on 
plants or rooted cuttings of those items which are not listed - but which 
we likely grow. We will do our best to answer promptly. However, it is 
impossible to give lengthy advice and planting instructions individually.

A ground cover of great popularity for lawn substitute. The creeping 
stems root to form a dense mate It thrives in sunshine and yet adapts 
itself to shade. May be sown in an old lawn or in newly prepared ground. 
In the latter case, attention to watering, fertilizing and weeding is 
essential for the first three months. Only a minimum of attention is 
required thereafter. Hardiness in the northern states is uncertain. 
A packet of 12,000 seeds sells for $1.25 postpaid, and will suffice for 
300 square feet. Germination time is about six days. Plants are usually 
available at 50-cents each or $5.00 per dozen - but we do not recommend 
shipping them any distance.
