SAXIFRAGA 



The strawberry geranium or S. sarmentosa 

 makes one of the best of basket-plants. It re- 

 produces readily from runners in the same way 

 as the strawberry and these hanging over the 

 side add greatly to the beauty of the basket. 



The best basket for the strawberry geranium 

 is one made of wire, as the most striking effect 

 is produced by covering the sides as well as the 

 top. This effect is secured either by placing 

 small plants in the sides when the basket is be- 

 ing filled or by pinning the runners to the moss 

 and allowing them to root there. 



The soil best suited for the strawberry ge- 

 ranium is a good loam such as may be prepared 

 from formula No. i.
