•RANUNCULUS repens. fl. pi. 
A fast spreading, low growing perennial. Glossy, deep 
green strawberry-like foliage. Small, bright, butter¬ 
cup-yellow flowers. Excellent for rock gardens, win¬ 
dow boxes or as a ground cover in moist, partly 
shaded locations. 2V 2 inch pots. 
REHMANNIA. 
Use of this perennial has increased remarkably dur¬ 
ing the past year or two. Grows rapidly to a height 
of three feet. At each stage of growth, from early 
Summer until November, it produces great quantities 
of flowers shaped somewhat like the Pentstemon but 
three times as large. Flowers keep for days after cut¬ 
ting. The large, deeply cut leaves are interesting, too. 
Sun or partial shade. 
Angulata. Bright rose spotted in the throat with 
brown. 2% inch pots. Gal. containers. 
Fleur Blanc. Creamy white. Gal. containers, 35c. 
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 AVinter with large, golden-yellow flowers. 
A r ery effective in the shrubbery border. Sun or partial 
shade. Gal. containers, 35c.

flowers in Summer. Good for cutting. Sun. 2*4 inch 
pots. Gal. containers.

one-half feet. Surmounted in late Summer and Fall

containers.

AVinter. Grows to three feet. Sun. 3 inch pots. 
Splenclens. A compact, bright foliaged plant growing 
to two and one-half feet. Blooms continually through 
Summer and AVinter too, if planted in a sunny frost- 
free location. Flowers Flaming Red. 2% inch pots. 
Sclarea. If you have a spot anywhere in the garden 
you wish to fill quickly try this variety. You can al¬ 
most see it grow. Has enormous leaves, grows to five 
feet in height and will easily cover a four or five 
foot space. Enormous spikes of large whitish-purple 
flowers. Prefers sun and a well drained soil. 2 x / 2 inch 
pots. 
♦SAPONARIA ocymoides. 
The name sounds not too attractive but for a low 
half trailing perennial in the border or rockery it 
is very satisfactory. The small, bright pink flowers 
appear over the entire plant in Summer. Plant in 
sun. 2% inch pots. 
SAXIFRAGA. 
Shade loving perennials that are planted for their 
luxuriant foliage and attractive flowers. 
*Sarmentosa will thrive in any shaded, moist loca¬ 
tion. Creeps close to the ground, rooting and forming 
independent plants as it grows. Even in spots where 
very little light penetrates it will flourish. Leaves are 
round, one to two inches in diameter, green, heavily 
veined with white. AVhite flowers on slender six inch 
stems. Valuable in rockeries, baskets or window boxes. 
Gal. containers. 
Stracheyi. Large six to eight inch leathery leaves. 
Glossy, dark green. Has the appearance of being sen¬ 
sitive to frost, but is entirely hardy here Is one of 
our most valuable subjects for shaded locations. Broad 
short-stemmed panicles of pink primrose-like flowers 
appear through AVinter and Spring. Grows to one and 
one-half feet in height. Gal. containers, 35c each.
