Alyssum - Rock Madwort 
Very popular early flowering perennials of easiest culture 
and all very free flowering. They all like a well drained soil 
and sunny position. Useful in the border as well as in the 
dry wall or rock garden. 
Alyssum saxatile compactum. Broad masses of bright yellow 
flowers in early spring. An excellent plant for the rockery 
or front of borders. 1 foot. 
Arabis - Rock Cress 
One of the most common of rock plants. 
Arabis alpina. Pure white flowers produced in dense masses, 
splendid for border and rockery work, and lasting well 
when cut. 
Aubrietia - Rock Cress or False 
Wall Cress 
One of the daintiest and most delicately beautiful of all 
dwarf, creeping plants for carpeting beds or rockeries, form¬ 
ing brilliant sheets of violet, crimson or rose for many weeks. 
Massed on rockeries or in borders with white Arabis and yel¬ 
low Alyssum, it forms a charming contrast. A gem for plant¬ 
ing in crevices of rocks or wall, forming a cataract of color. 
Aubrietia, Crimson King. Extra fine; red-crimson. 
Mertensia - Virginia Bluebells 
Plant of medium growth and well suited for shady spots. 
The flowers appear early in the spring. They are bright blue 
in color, fading to pink. 
Nepeta * Ground Ivy, Catmint 
Nepeta mussini. An excellent plant for any position, but espe¬ 
cially useful in the rock garden. Of dwarf, compact habit, 
producing masses of bloom of a beautiful shade of lavender. 
1 to 1J/2 feet. 
Polyanthus - Bunch Primrose 
Polyanthus, Munstead’s Giants. These are very similar to 
Hardy Primroses. Very gay and bright colored. Early, free 
bloomer, making a very attractive plant for the rock gar¬ 
den. Mixed colors only. Price, 25c each; 10 for $2.00.
