SALIX—These miniature Willows are fascinating, deciduous 
shrubs. They are cosmopolitan inhabitants of alpine peaks 
in the Temperate Zone and rocky barrens of the far North. 
They make twiggy, compact bushes or solid carpets and 
their picturesque ‘’trunks’’ attain considerable size and 
age in their natural habitats. The leaves and habits of 
these tiny Willows vary greatly and, combined with their 
charming catkins (‘‘pussies’’), add great interest to a 
rock or scree garden. Not difficult in a moist, peaty soil 
in sun or very light shade. We offer you the largest selec- 
tion of miniature Willows in the country. 
*anglorum—A choice, tiny, prostrate shrub with small, glossy 
leaves. The flowers and seed heads stand well above the 
leaves and give the plant a touch of individuality which 
compensates for the lack of showy flowers. This is one of 
the more rare Salix, never having been offered to collectors 
before. 2 in. From Mt. Albert in the Shickshock Mountains 
of Gaspe, Que. Pots, $1.00; field, $1.50. 
**Bockii—A Chinese species, remaining very dwarf when grown 
in pots, seldom more than 18 to 24 inches high when ma- 
ture. But it does attain a height of 5 to 6 feet if planted 
in the shrub border. Small leaves on rigid, arched stems. 
The catkins appear in the Autumn. Prune in early Winter

many rarities. 1 ft. or less. Pots, $1.00; field, $1.50. 
*Peasei—A creeping species found only in one spot, high up 
in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Not difficult 
but very rare. Reputedly a natural hybrid, it has shining, 
brownish stems and roundish, glossy leaves. A handsome 
carpeter. 3 in. Pots, $1.00; field, $1.50. 
*saximontana — A dwarf creeping Willow from the high 
Rockies. Leaves are light green above and silvery beneath, 
while the conspicuously veined foliage and woody trunk 
add a distinctive touch. 2 in. Pots, $1.00; fieid, $1.50.

lel SS] 225). 
SAXIFRAGA—*KABSCHIA SECTION. This section contains the 
most rare and prettiest of all the Saxifrages. They need and 
deserve more care than the rest, requiring a light and rich 
soil, half loam, quarter leafmold and quarter sand, sur- 
faced with limestone chips. Old mortar rubble may also be 
incorporated in the soil. They detest being parched as 
much as water-logged, and should have a well-drained posi- 
tion, with light shade from the hottest summer sun, with 
an assurance of moisture at their roots during the dry sea- 
son. They are all dwarf and compact in habit and the ma- 
jority have their foliage more or less encrusted with a 
silvery lime deposit. Their flowering period is from late 
Winter to mid-Spring depending on the kind and season. 
The following are a carefully selected group, mostly 
garden hybrids from England and the Continent. They are 
grown in pots, the most satisfactory method of handling 
them for sale.
