AUBRETIA—Wall Cress 
Hardy Perennial 
The rock garden could ill afford to do without its 
wonderful masses of Aubretia that give such a rare 
color during - April and May and which are among the 
most easily grown and the most showy of all rock 
plants. They form spreading tufts and are never seen 
at their best on the flat, but should be so placed that 
they may droop over some mound of soil or cover the 
face of a lock, or fall from the top of a rockery wall. A 
light loamy soil meets their requirements and after the 
flowers are over the plants should be cut back well, that 
the tufts may not become bare in the center. We’offer 
the best of the new, named varieties.
