Ground Cavers 
The plants classified under the above heading 
are low, dense and rapid in growth. Varieties can 
be selected which will grow in the shade, on the 
slopes of a bank difficult to mow, as a Summer 
protection for roots of evergreens, to grow on a 
dry sterile bank, as an underplanting for the rose 
bed, or as a planting in narrow strips along 
driveways or walks. In every case they greatly 
improve the appearance and in most cases they 
reduce the work of gardening. These plants are 
listed elsewhere in the catalog and the page 
numbers refer to such listings. 
COTONEASTER (See page 12). Deciduous 
with persistent red berries. A low spreading 
shrub for sunny places. Will do well in 
relatively poor soils.

shaded spots where it will also climb if there 
is an opportunity.

its best.
