Alyssum Saxatile Compactum—“Golden Tuft” 
T he strongest practical argument in favor of hardy peren¬ 
nials is the fact that once planted, they continue year 
after year with no further gardening concern beyond 
i cultivation, cutting and thinning. 
ACTIITISA<$> Herbacea, (6-9"). Rather flat, dense rosettes 
of shiny, dark green, lanceolate, 3-inch leaves; intermit- 
tingly supporting short-stemmed, inch-wide, golden yellow 
flowers. 25c each; 3 for 70c; doz. $2.50. 
1 In all descriptions, we aim to show normal matured height, 
blooming period, color, and any special quality or utility; so 
that the reader may easily select and associate varieties to fit 
any desired plot or purpose. 
FIiAITTING. These roots may be planted as early in spring 
as the ground is pliable (or in the autumn) ; selecting an op¬ 
portunity when the soil is not cold, wet or soggy. Large clumps 
are not necessary nor often desirable; the smaller divisions or 
i pot grown stock showing more thrift and virility and develop¬ 
ing into shapelier plants than the bulkier old roots. 
Any good soil sensibly enriched with fertilizer, dug deep and 
thoroughly mixed, will be satisfactory. 
WINTER PROTECTION. Everything listed in this sec¬ 
tion is “hardy,” but in varying degree. A light covering 
of coarse straw, manure or leaves (not over 2 or 3 inches 
deep) will give comfort to all kinds, and insure safety.
