out. They should be divided at least every second year and trans-

HEUCHERA, “Alum Root.” (N.O. Saxifragacese.) 
A compactly growing plant with pretty bluish foliage, practically 
evergreen. It is of the simplest culture, and thrives in any ordinary 
garden soil except stiff clay. It is perhaps happiest at the edge of 
a raised border, where it will seed freely, grit or mortar-rubble 
being particularly suitable for it. Best as a front-row plant. Can 
be propagated by seed or by division, and should be broken 
up after three years, as after that time it does not flower well.
