Geum Borisi 
GEUM, Dwarf Evergreen Species — These 
are doubly valuable for the alpine gar¬ 
den and border on account of their hand¬ 
some evergreen foliage and large showy 
flowers, which are produced from early 
spring to fall. If given sufficient root 
moisture, with good drainage, the major¬ 
ity of them will thrive in full sun. They 
like a deep rich soil.

genus. Neat tufts of evergreen foliage

derful dark evergreen foliage.
