These beautiful rock plants cannot be 
surpassed during the flowering season,

be taken inside during the winter, placed 
in a pan and made to bloom beautifully. 
The flowers will stay in bloom for fully 
a month with the bright blooms above 
the green of the foliage. Because of its 
early flowering, should be in every rock- 
garden. The plants are extremely hardy 
from frosts and do equally as well when 
planted in masses on dry sunny embank¬ 
ments; therefore, making an ideal ground 
cover on terraces of poor ground, in dry, 
sunny locations as the plants will bear
