Beautiful little plants, particularly suitable for 
edging beds of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, &c. ; grow 
equally well on level ground as on rockeries. When 
once established they require very little attention. 
Now that their beauty and usefulness are beginning 
to be better understood, the demand for them is 
steadily increasing — a tardy, but well deserved tribute 
to their charming and general effectiveness. 
Prices (except where stated), 9/- to 12/- per doz., 
60 /- to 80 /- per 100.
