spring ajid fall. Likes a moist, stony soil,

* ha 11 i —Deciduous native with finely cut 
leaves and does better if given a little 
shade during summer months, blooming 
much longer. The upper petals are a 
rich purple, the others cream yellow. 
Probably the best of our deciduous na¬ 
tives. 25c each. 
*lobata— A queer looking Viola from the 
Siskiyous with big leathery leaves, some 
of which are entire and shaped like

as unevenly as those of a Sassafras. 
Yellow flowers. 25c each. 
♦pedata —Birds Foot Viola. Native of east¬ 
ern and mid-western states. Finely cut 
foliage and large pale lavender flowers

lower ones a light blue, making a very 
pretty contrast. Same culture as for

rant white. 35c each. 
* Alpines or Rock plants. 
WAHLENBERGIApumilio —Being from seed 
collected in Dalmatia, the plants are 
somewhat variable as to size as well as 
color of both foliage and flowers. We 
have selected the most dwarf and silvery 
plants for propagation, the color of the 
flowers varying but very little; lavender- 
violet to deep lavender-violet. It makes 
a more or less silvery mound or mat, 
covered with cup-like flowers on 1 to 2 
inch stems from June to Aug. For scree 
or any light, limy soil, in full sun. Top 
dress with stone chips and limestone. 
$1.00 and $1.50 each. 
WULFENIA carinthiaca — Close tuffets of 
thick leathery leaves, of dark, glossy 
green, from which spring thick, stocky 
stems, densely set with bright blue flow¬ 
ers during June and July. 12 inches. 
For a shady, moist place. 35c each. 
YUCCA filamentosa — Among hardy plants 
there is nothing more effective and strik¬ 
ing for isolated positions on the lawn or 
on dry banks where few other plants 
will thrive. Its broad sword-like ever¬ 
green foliage and immense branching 
spikes of drooping creamy-white flowers, 
rising to height of 6 ft. or more, render 
it a bold and handsome subject wherever 
placed. 35c, 50c and 75c each. 
*filamentosa variegata—A hardy variegat¬ 
ed form and a thrifty grower. The leaves 
have narrow stripes of green and white, 
like a ribbon grass, tinged red in winter. 
50c and 75c each. 
ZAUSCHNERIA *californica— An excellent 
plant for rock walls, or large boulders, 
where it receives full sun and the foli¬ 
age may hang over rock or ledge. Makes 
large flat masses of grey, downy foliage, 
smothered from Sept, to Nov. with long, 
tubular flowers of a brilliant scarlet. 
Very drought resistant, it thrives in any 
well-drained soil. 35c each. 
*latifolia — Of more upright habit, the 
flower stalks ascending from 12 to 18 
inches before bending over again. While 
foliage is not as attractive as that of Z. 
californica, it being a bright green, it is 
more floriferous. 35c each. 
XEROPHYLLUM tenax — (Squaw Grass) 
Will grow in nearly any soil, but prefers 
a well-drained slope in full sun. We ad¬ 
vise spring planting. It is one of our 
most striking mountain plants, with its 
great clubbed plumes of creamy white 
flowers rising above the clump of tough, 
grass-like foliage. Our plants are nursery 
grown. 75c and $1.00 each.
