SAXIFRAGA. KABSCHIA SECTION— This 
section contains the most rare and pret¬ 
tiest of all the Saxifrage. They ask, and 
deserve, more care than the rest, requir¬ 
ing a light and rich soil, half loam, quar¬ 
ter leaf-mold and quarter sand, surfaced 
with limestone chips. Old mortar rubble 
may also be incorporated into the soil. 
They detest being parched as much as 
water-logged, and should have a well- 
drained position, with light shade from 
the hottest summer sun, with an assur¬ 
ance of moisture at their roots during 
the dry season. They are all of dwarf, 
compact habit, and the majority have 
their foliage more or less encrusted with 
silvery lime deposit. Their flowering 
period is early spring, from Feb. to May.
