SMALL bright yellow flowers borne in clusters on a neat downy mat- 

 hke plant growing eight to ten inches high. Leaves feathery, ever- 

 green, and very pretty. Excellent as an edging for the herbaceous bor- 

 der, though perhaps even 

 better suited to the rock 

 garden, as its appearance 

 suggests a wild flower 

 rather than a carefully 

 cultivated garden plant. 

 Good also for cutting 



A perfectly hardy per- 

 ennial of easiest culture 

 in any soil, even though 

 poor and dry. Will 

 stand drought well and 

 prefers full sun. 



Propagate by cutting, 

 by seed, or by division.
