REINWARDTIA trigyna (Yellow Flax). 
Correctly, a sub-shrub rather than a perennial. In early 
Winter when the Fall blooming perennials are beginning 
to rest, Reinwardtia starts an exhibit of his own and 
persists until competition becomes keen in the Spring. 
Then he takes his Summer vacation. Grows two to four 
feet in height and is covered through Winter with large, 
golden-yellow flowers. Very effective in the shrubbery 
border. Sun or partial shade. Gal. containers. 
*SAGINA subulata. 
Low, mossy plant with fine grass-like leaves. Perfect for 
use between stepping stones or as a ground cover in fil¬ 
tered sun light. Flats of 100 plants $1.25.

ers in Summer. Good for cutting. Sun. Gal. containers.

and will easily cover a four or five foot space. Enormous 
spikes of large whitish-purple flowers. Prefers sun and a 
well drained soil. Gal. containers. 
*SAPONARIA ocymoides.

trailing perennial in the border or rockery it is very satis¬ 
factory. The small, bright pink flowers appear over the 
entire plant in Summer. Plant in sun. Gal. containers.
