OXALIS—A diverse group of small but showy bulbous or creep- 
ing plants for perfectly-drained spots in the rock garden. 
All need light protection in severe climates. 
*adenophylla—Gray green leaves with many leaflets among 
which nestle, in the Summer, huge goblets of lilac pink, 
darkening to crimson at the base. A light, well-drained soil 
in sun. 3 in. Rare. Bulbs shipped in Fall only. 50c and 75c. 
*lobata—A choice, rare species from Chile. The Clover-like, 
green leaves appear in the Spring and disappear a few weeks 
later. Then in mid-Summer up they come again with love- 
ly golden-yellow Buttercups on 2 inch stems. For a light, 
warm soil in sun. Pots, 75¢c and $1.00. 
*magellanica—From Patagonia and reasonably hardy. Creep- 
ing but not difficult to manage. Bronzy carpets of Sham- 
rock leaves, studded with pearly goblets. A more moist soil 
with some humus and light shade. Pots, 50c and 75c. 
PENSTEMON—This American genus furnishes us with the 
finest material for rock and wall work. The requirements 
for their success are simple: a gritty or stony soil without 
any fertilizer, perfect drainage, and full sun. The kinds 
we offer are a selection of the more showy and uncommon 
sorts. They are shrubby and mostly evergreen. The flowers, 
two-lipped, tubular, and brightly colored, are borne pro- 
fusely in late Spring to mid-Summer. All Penstemons tend 
to bloom excessively and should be sheared severely as soon 
as the flowers fade. In cold, windy sections the foliage 
should be protected from burning by a light covering. We 
grow most of our Penstemons in pots because they move 
readily and soon become established. 
*Barrettae—A bold, shrubby, evergreen species with some- 
what silvered foliage and short spikes of lilac-purple flow- 
ers which are very large. 12 in. A very rare plant, found

*heterophyllus erectus—A selected strain with matted, linear, 
shiny leaves and electric-blue flowers in slender 18 inch 
racemes for several weeks in early Summer. The plants
