A terrace at Cohasset, Mass. 
This is a spot 
where Woolly Thyme, Border Gem Thyme and 
the gray Artemisias are wonderfully effective. 
SILVER MOUND ARTEMISIA 
Artemisia schmidtiana nana 
Silver Mound Artemisia is a soft, feathery, gray per- 
ennial, growing about 10 inches tall. It makes a dis- 
tinctive edging and is an excellent rock-garden plant. 
Fine for accent in the garden. 
3 for $1.80 
BORDER GEM THYME 
Thymus vulgaris variety 
10 for $5.00 
A fine evergreen variety, originated on Cape Cod, 
that can be used for many purposes. The plants grow 
6 to 9 inches high and form a normal spread 15 inches 
in diameter. Succeeds on hot dry banks where it is 
difficult to grow grass. Ideal for a low border in the 
garden or in front of evergreen and shrub plantings. 
3 for $2.00 10 for $5.00 
SHADE TREES help to frame the view and their 
winter outlines are often fascinating. The tree illus- 
trated at the right is an ordinary Black Cherry (Choke 
Cherry or Rum Cherry) not usually held in high regard 
but there is beauty in even the lowliest of nature’s 
creations. 
We do not grow Black Cherries but if perchance you 
would like to plant a few, we will furnish collected 
plants 4 to 5 ft. tall at $2.50 each, 10 for $20.00.

WOOLLY THYME 
Thymus serpyllum variety 
Need something to plant between stepping stones or 
flag stones, perhaps on a hot dry terrace? 
This very low growing Thyme with woolly gray foli- 
age is the best answer to that problem.

GREAT SEA-LAVENDER 
Limonium latifolium 
10 for $5.00 
One of the saltiest perennials, — grows naturally in 
marshes, where the Spring tides flood over them at 
least four times a year, — yet good in inland gardens 
too. Immense heads of purplish blue, minute, feathery 
flowers. Lots of folks dry the blossoms and keep them 
throughout the Winter. (Run the vacuum cleaner over 
them once a year.)

Trees planted in windswept locations may require guying or 
staking to prevent swaying which will loosen the roots in the 
soil and may also cause the tree to assume a leaning position. 
The guy wires or stakes should remain until the growth of new 
roots have caused the tree to become firmly established, usually 
the first season. 
If you cannot do your planting this Spring, do not hesitate 
to plant in the Fall. On Cape Cod, for example, the Autumn 
is a long season and there is not the hot period following plant- 
ing that frequently occurs in the Spring. Pines, and other 
plants, will continue to make root growth as long as the ground 
is not frozen, — thus become established before Winter sets in. 
This tree is growing at the edge of Duxbury 
Bay looking toward Clark’s Island named for 
the Captain of the Mayflower.
