Aubrietia 
*AUBRIETIA. One of the most valuable rock plants. The 
mounds of slightly greyish foliage are smothered with 
the bright and attractive blossoms from early spring and 
on into the summer. In w'arm climate from late winter on. 
No plant gives a finer early effect to the rock garden or 
on well drained banks or for border edgings. Cult: Sit., 
sun. stand drouth well. Soil, any. PI., fall to spring. 
Prop., seeds.

Leichtlinii. Compact rosy-carmine. Seeds only (about 50 
per cent true but the others are fine) pkt 20 cts. 
BELLFLOWERS. See Campanulas. 
*BELLIUM Minutum is the tiniest of all daisies. Its tufts 
are barely ^4 in. high and 2 in. across. The dainty little 
single flowers are white tinted pink on stems 2 in. high. 
Flow’ers all summer. Cult: Sit., sun or light shade. Soil, 
any good, but never dry. PL, fall to spring. Prop., div. 
25 cts, each; 3 for 65 cts. 
BITTERSWEET. A splendid climber with brilliant scarlet 
berries. Each 60 cts. 
♦BLEEDING HEART. See Dicentra. 
♦BLUE-EYED GRASS. See Sisyrinchium. 
♦BOYKINIA occidentalis forms a neat clump with bright 
green, ivy shaped leaves. The flowers are filmy white 
panicles on stems to 18 in. and are fragrant. Admirable 
for heavy shade with moisture or on stream margins or 
in other moist spots. Flowers in May. Cult: Sun or 
shade. Soil, any if moist. PL. fall to spring. Prop., div. 
25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. 
♦BRODIAEAS in little groups of 3 to 6 bulbs, add a most de¬ 
lightful late spring effect to the rock garden. See under 
bulbs, page 4. 
♦CALIFORNIA FUCSHIA. See Zauschneria. 
*CALOCHORTUS of the Globe and Star tulip forms dotted 
into the rock garden are truly enchanting. See page 5. 
CAMASSIAS in bold groups in the borders will be a source 
of enchantment for many weeks in late spring. See 
page 5. 
CAMPANULA, Bellflower. One of the most beautiful ot 
plants and almost indispensable in the garden and rock 
garden. There are very many species but here I deal with 
the dwarfer ones suited to the rock garden, but the list 
is by no means exhaustive as there are over a hundred 
dwarf species. Campanulas will not do for the dryer or 
sun baked situations of the rock garden but if there is a 
north or east exposure and if moisture can be kept mod¬ 
erate no rock plant excels them in daintv loveliness. 
Lovely for border edgings. Cult: Sit., a north or east 
exposure, or partial shade. Soil, a good loam. PL, fall to 
spring. Prop., seed or divisions. All of the spreading 
sorts are best for biennial dividing. I divide such each 
year. 
♦Carpatica Convexity. 6 in. Compact tufts a foot across. 
Quite large flow'ers of medium mauve-blue with distinct 
white markings on the divisions, the petals reflexed to 
form a large star. New and a delight. 50 cts. each. 
♦Isophylla is another trailer and most lovely. Open mats are 
as much as a foot across, the stems covered with the 
large saucer shaped blue or white flowers from July to 
frost. Perfectly hardy from Calif, to Washington but 
might suffer in the East without some protection. Cut 
back to ground just before frost. A real gem in a cool 
situation but enduring not too hot a sunny situation. 
Isophylla Alba in pure white; Isophylla Mayii in fine 
blue at 50 cts. each. 
♦Garganica. Emerald green tufts, the flowers medium blue 
stars with white eye. 30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts. 
♦Garganica erinus. Most dainty, with tufts, less than 2 in. 
high, of heart shaped glossy leaves and star-shaped 
flower of soft blue just above foliage. 30 cts. each; 3 for 
75 cts. 
♦Istriaca. Tufts similar to Erinus but color is a most lovely 
china-blue. Rare. 35 cts. each; 3 for 90 cts. 
♦Muralis Bavarica. From a dense low spreading foliage mass 
arise 5 in. stems on w^hich are borne the 1 in. bells, mak¬ 
ing a blue purple mound from June on for many weeks. 
30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts. 
♦Poscharkyana. From Siberia comes this lovely and entirely 
new campanula. There is a neat basal tuft and from this 
spread many 10 in. trailing stems studded with pale blue 
star-like flow^ers. If cut it flowers three times. May, July 
and September. 30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts. 
♦Pusilla (Caespitosa) is another real gem in very dwarf 
plants. Spreading to make a very dense mass hardly 2 
in. high, the nodding blue bells are carried on erect 4 in. 
stems well above foliage appearing from July to October. 
A delight in a cool pocket in rock garden. 30 cts. each; 
3 for 75 cts. 
♦Pusilla alba. A pure white form of preceding. Same price. 
♦Pseudo-Rainerii is rather finer than Rainerii and unlike it, 
quite easy to grow. It is a dainty, compact and quite 
miniature tuft 1% in. high, with the large fine, blue 
flowers borne above the foliage. July to Aug. 35 cts. 
each. 
♦Rotundifolia. A clump of very many slender but erect 
12 to 18 in. stems bears a mass of rather broad blue bells 
from late May to June. It is far the best form of the 
many Rotundifolia varieties. Stands shade. 25 cts. each; 
3 for 65 cts.
