they would still be worth growing for their foliage alone. 
Their culture is simple enough, but they must have some lime in the 
soil, which must be well drained, with a reasonable amount of moisture 
at the roots unless they are protected from the afternoon sun. 
Saxifragas are divided into sections. We list a few from the two main 
sections, below, with brief descriptions. 
The Kabschia Section contains the most rare and prettiest of all Saxi¬ 
fragas. They are of dwarf, compact habit, with foliage more or less 
needle-like, and encrusted with lime deposits. They bloom from Feb. 
to May. The flowers are large, and seldom more than 6 inches high.

SAXIFRAGA — ENCRUSTED SECTION 
The majority are of easy culture in any well-drained soil, with the ad¬ 
dition of lime. They appreciate some shade and moisture at the roots, 
during dry periods. Flowering period is from June to August.

branching sprays of star-like white fls. with brilliant red anthers. Red
