LARGE-LEAVED 

 SAXIFRAGE, 



S'l.rifnn'if lujiiltita. 



ARDY plants adapted t'oi- 

 Ijedsj borders, and roek- 

 eries may be roiig'hly 

 thrown into two classes : 

 those that are capable of 

 takinsj- care of themselves, 

 and thcise chat require to 

 be constantly taken care 

 of. This large-leaved saxi- 

 frage belongs to the firs* 

 class; it is one of the most 

 thrifty and useful flower- 

 ing plants iu cultivation, 

 and it IS scarcely possible 

 to have too much of it 

 in any garden, for it will 

 thrive where many good 

 things would fade, and its 

 pleasing flowers are produced in plenty in the spring 

 season, when they are especially welcome. 



We have a group of large-leaved saxifrages that are 

 v<3ry closely related. They are sometimes classed as Mega- 

 seas, and it would be well were this generic distinction 

 generally accepted, for they difl:er greatly from saxifrages
