ARENARIA VERNA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA  TRIGYNIA. 
This is a mountainous plant, a native of 
different parts of the European continent, 
and also some places in Britain. 
Itis of very low growth, seldom exceeding 
two inches from the $round. From its early 
flowering, (it begins in March), and long 
continuance, sometimes till September, it 
is well worthy a place in every collection ; 
the more so as it does not occupy much 
room, a pot of three or four inches diameter 
being fully sufficient. It should be planted 
in sandy loam, and may be readily increased 
by dividing the roots in the spring: being 
perfectly hardy, it requires no other care 
than watering in dry weather.
