Saxifraga 



( 312 ) 



Saxifraga 



make good plants for a cool or cold house. Peltata 

 is a moisture lover, and likes a good soil where its 

 roots can reach water. The Kobertsonia class 

 can do with common soil, and the Porpl^rion 

 class require plenty of water at the root in the 

 crevices of the rockwork, but do not like much 

 overhead.
