most conspicuous. They all prefer light, sandy soil, to which may be applied a liberal top dressing

early in Winter is necessary, excepting in warm, dry positions.

These shrubby Speed-wells, though not absolutely hardy in this country, can withstand several 
degrees of frost, and as there are many positions in gardens which are somewhat sheltered, these 
are the plants to occupy them, and give ample return in an abundance of flowers into late Autumn, 
and a constant neat appearance. Of the species, those marked with an asterisk (*) are evergreen 
and admirably adapted for the rock garden. In the South of Knglaud, in Wales, and near the 
coast generally (to the South of Scotland), these shrubs need practically no protection. Trmersii 
is the hardiest of all the species, and may be planted with confidence even in a fairly exposed 
position.
