ROCK GARDEN PLANTS

FOREWORD

The developing National Emergency has made us feel that
most of our fertile acres should be devoted to the production
of food, also such things as raspberry and strawberry plants.
Therefore, most of our time, energy, and space will this year
be devoted to this.

Production of Rock Plants has been and will be severely
curtailed. The plants listed are in good stock, however, and
can be shipped promptly after the first of April, when digging
can usually be started.

During the winter now passing, there have been several
very severe freezes with no snow on the ground, This condition
often means some winterkilling of plants. Therefore, substi-
tutes should be listed with any order sent ing

We guarantee plants to be true to name, and that shipments
Will be in good condition when Left at our local Post Office or
Express office. We cannot guarantee that they will reach YOU
in good condition,

Orders sent in after Mar. 15 should have 10% added for
parcel post charges, unless shipment by Express is desired,
Hither way is slow.

No order accepted that does not total at least $2.00.

VERONICA FILIFORMIS--

Veronica filiformis has been in great demand the past year or
so as a substitute for lawn grass where the latter will not grow,
such as under large trees, It can be depended on to greatly improve
these impossible spots, and will usually completely eliminate such
eyesores, There has to be some soil, and some moisture, howevere
ihe plant weeleLorma ntcc mas under very dititcuLt conditions, but
will not do the impossible, It is hardy, having stood Vermont win-
ters for many years with no signs of winter killing.

A squarefoot, as we sell it, can be divided by the customer so
as to plant 15 to 20 square feet. As it grows, vacant spaces be«
tween plants can be reset with pieces from the larger plants. Thus
with a little care, a dense mat can be formed in a month or two.

The mat should be mowed with the lawn mower whenever blossoms
appear in quantity, to keep it from flowering itself to death.

Veronica filiformis is an invasive plant, and should not be
planted where growing conditions are good, or in a rock garden or
obher plantings In its place, as a substitute for lawn grass, it is
wonderful.

PRICE - - $2.00 per square foot.
COLLECTED WILD FLOWERS - -

The folowing wild flowers, not listed in the previous pages,
are sold in quantities of not less than 12, at $2.50 per dozen.

Plant collecting is an indefinite business, much depending on how
much rush there is at the Nursery. Also, many back roads in Vte are
impassable in the spring. Plants will be shipped when it is pos-
sible to collect them, except during the heat of the summer, If
