*THYMUS—Thyme 
Thyme, in its many forms, is one of those universal- 
ly loved, fragrant plants. Some varieties are shrubby, 
woody types, while others are low growing and creep- 
ing. All are interesting for various garden uses, as 
noted. All varieties do best in well-drained, sandy soil 
in full sun. 
Common (T. vulgaris). 12 in. Upright, somewhat 
spreading habit of growth; narrow leaves and pur- 
plish flowers. The most widely used Thyme for 
flavoring poultry dressing. 
Crimson (T. Serpyllum coccineus). 4 in. Prostrate, 
creeping habit of growth; crimson flowers. Used in 
wall plantings, rock gardens, and in the crevices 
of stone walks. Dark green foliage. 
Lemon (T. citriodorus). 6 in. Blue-green leaves with a 
distinct lemon fragrance and flavor. 
Lemon, Golden-edged Variegated (T. citriodorus aureus 
variegatus). The dark green leaves are edged with 
gold. Thick bushy plants. 
Lemon, Silver-edged Variegated (T. citriodorus argen- 
teus variegatus). Similar to T. citriodorus, but the 
slightly smaller leaves are margined with silver. 
White (T. Serpyllum albus). Thick close mats of bright 
green foliage are covered in early summer with tiny 
pure white flowers. Best of the creeping types for 
winter effect. 
Thymus Lanuginosus. Wooly gray foliage. Fine ground 
cover for sunny dry places.

TRADESCANTIA (Spiderwort) 
The common old-fashioned forms were known to our 
grandmothers, who had many names for them. The hy- 
bridizers have been at work improving them not only 
in color and size of bloom, but they have considerably 
lengthened the period of bloom.
