See Fig. 1473 . ?i'epeta O'ieehoma is a perennial erveping plant of easy culture in any , rich, fairly moist soil, in either shade or full sunliglit, but to be luxuriant in the open it should have a moist soil. It is a very rapid grower, and is therefore often troublesome when planted with other low-growing plants. It is useful as a ground covering in shrubbery borders and shady places generally. A.
