+LEWISIA—These distinctive Western American plants are exceptionally 
valuable Alpine garden subjects. Their main requisition is sharp 
drainage, and with the exception of the Deciduous Species and Co- 
lumbianum Rosea, require a little shade during the hot and dry sum¬ 
mer months. 
Brachycalyx—A very rare species, and a real gem for the rockery. Makes 
a many-leaved rosette of light green, flattish leaves that nestle close 
to the ground in a perfect circle. White flowers, about 2 inches across, 
almost stemless, come in such profusion as to almost hide the plant. 
The flowers are often tinted pink.50 
Columbianum—Evergreen rosettes of rather narrow leaves, with small 
pink and white striped flowers; 6 to 10 inches. June and July.25 
Columbianum Rosea—Flat rosettes of dark evergreen leaves, with masses 
of medium-sized rosy-purple flowers on 6 to 8-inch stems, from May 
to November. This species has the longest flowering period of any 
of the Lewisia. NEW.25 
Cotyledon—Evergreen rosettes of narrow leaves, not very dense. White 
flowers, which have many pink lines.50 
Eastwoodiana—Foliage like Columbianum. Slender, many - flowered 
scapes, 6 to 9 inches long, with small white flowers. Very new and 
rare . 50

inch wide and 3 to 4 inches long, flat on the ground. Flowers white 
or pale pink, with deeper stripe down the center of each petal, on 
6 to 10-inch stems.50 
^Heckneri—-Leaves curiously spined along the margin. Pink to white 
flowers on 6 to 8-inch stems. New and rare.50

of white or apricot flowers, each petal streaked with wide center 
band of rose.40 
Howellii var. Minus—A small flowering form of the preceding. .50 
Leeana—With slender, pine-like leaves and many small, rosy-purple 
flowers, it is very attractive 12 months of the year.25

leaves, very many flowers, which are white, tinted lavender, on short 
stems .25
