 Leaves narrow and pointed, one half to one inch long, forming a neat close 

 mat. Excellent as an 

 edging for the herbaceous 

 border on account of its 

 dense foliage habits and 

 the profusion of its 

 flowers, or for planting in 

 the rock garden. 



A perfectly hardy per- 

 ennial of easiest culture 

 in any good, sandy gar- 

 den soil, preferably in 

 sun. 



Propagate by seed or 

 by division.
