GROUND COVER PLANTS 
Offered at Attractive Prices Growing in Flats. 
In general better results are to be had by carefully grading and 
preparing the ground as you would for a lawn. Then set small 
divisions closer than generally recommended to cover the soil as 
quickly as possible before the soil between has a chance to wash 
away. This prevents the mounding effect so often seen in these lawns.

green leaves. Best in sunny places where it can be given moderate 
watering. Becomes loose and large in shade. Needs mowing once 
in a while only. Easy to manage. 
Algerian Ivy. Large, green leaves and vigorous, rampant growth 
make this an excellent vine for ground cover, climbing on fences,

in many interesting patterns. Nice to use against dark walls where
