of the rocks; the mountain cranberry, Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea, 
a dwarf evergreen with shining leaves, widely distributed in 
arctic regions. Corydalis lutea , a yellow-flowered fumitory with 
glaucous leaves, is quite at home in the crevices at the side of the 
steps at the south end of the garden. It grows wild in stony 
places in Europe and in many sections has naturalized itself on 
old walls. Cala?idrinia umbellata, a member of the purslane 
family from Peru, displays its showy, crimson-majenta flowers 
from June until frost.
