California Flowerland PERENNI ALS 
SAXIFRAGA CRASSIFOLIA 
This beautiful Saxifraga, pictured at left, is an exceedingly valuable plant to grow in shady 
spots in your garden, where it will thrive and produce lovely cut flowers under most difficult con- 
ditions. The plants grow in almost any soil, in a shady position. Their large, glossy, leathery 
leaves and spikes of clear pink flowers make them doubly admirable for planting in front of 
: shrubbery, or under trees where a mass planting is wanted. Added to their value for mass or 
‘border planting, is their beauty as cut flowers, which are freely produced in mid-winter. As it is so 
difficult to find a plant which will thrive readily in the shade, and yet produce flowers for cutting, 
this wonderful plant should be widely planted for this purpose.
