SAXIFRAGA. ENCRUSTED SECTION—The 
majority are of very easy culture in any 
open, free soil, well-drained, with lime¬ 
stone chips added. They appreciate a 
little shade during the hottest part of 
the summer and moisture at the roots 
during the dry season. In gardens where 
it is difficult to give needed water, we 
advise planting in crevices facing either 
north or east. Flowering period June to 
Aug.

the Saxifrage”. Huge rosettes of silvery 
grey, which do not produce offsets. Well 
grown plants will often measure from 10 
to 14 inches across, with flower spikes 
measuring 3 feet. We have the true plant 
from the Pyrenees. 50c, 75c and $1.00

ver beading. $1.00 each.

mense panicles of white flowers, speck¬ 
led with crimson. 35c and 50c each. 
SAXIFRAGA. MISCELLANY OF SPECIES. 
♦aspera—A very rare and distinct species, 
making dense and rambling mats of 
rough and mossy shoots, like those of 
some very narrow-leaved and condensed 
Phlox subulata, with bristly edges and a 
bristly end to all the stiff huddled little 
needle-like leaves of glossy green, taking 
a dusted look from their bristliness, and 
bearing gem-buds embedded in their 
wandering shoots. The frail stems as¬ 
cend weakly some 4 inches, with rather 
large pale butter-colored flowers, speck¬ 
led with orange at base. Easy in any 
open place, in strong, well-drained soil. 
75c and $1.00 each. 
♦cordifolia (megasea)—Large glossy leaves 
richly colored in fall and winter. Heads 
of soft rose flowers from Dec. to April.

or so later than preceding. 35c and 50c
