Saxifraga ligulata. This also belongs to the large- 

 leaved section, and is the best of that class for flowering, as 

 it comes early and blooms very freely, the flowers are a nice 

 bright pink with a dark eye. This variety is more tender 

 than the others mentioned here, and occasionally gets severely 

 cut by the late frosts ; it is easily propagated as directed for 

 S. cordifolia purpurea. 



Saxifraga moschata atropurpurea. This and the two 

 following varieties belong to the mossy section and are very 

 useful little plants for edging, it is a little gem when 

 studded all over with its bright red blossoms, which 

 only grow about three inches high ; and is very useful 

 for carpeting among other plants which do not cover the 

 ground, such as Crocuses, Auriculas and others. It increases 

 readily by division as directed for S. Camposii. 



Saxifraga moschata, Guildford Seedling. This grows 

 six inches high when in flower, and is a brighter red than 

 S. moschata atropurpurea, but not so free flowering ; it is 

 used as an edging to other plants, and is propagated in the 

 same way as S. Camposii. 



Saxifraga moschata T^hei. This grows to six inches in 

 height when in flower, and yields abundance of pink and 

 white blossoms. It is used chiefly as an edging plant, and 

 requires the same treatment for propagation as S. Camposii. 



Saxifraga purpurascens. This belongs to the Megasea 

 section and is useful on account of its leaves turning to a nice 

 red shade in winter and early spring ; it is more compact in 

 habit than S. cordifolia purpurea, and is useful for dividing 

 lines in large beds, also to hide the bareness of taller growing
