SAXIFRAGA—*KABSCHIA SECTION. This section contains the 
most rare and prettiest of all the Saxiirages. They n2ed 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.

soft rose flowers. $1.00 and $1.50.

SAXIFRAGA—*MISCELLANEOUS SECTION. 
oppositifolia Prichards Variety—This rare, precious variety 
of a famed Saxifrage comes from England. Trailing mats 
of stems closely set with tiny, dark green leaves giving a 
four-angled effect. Tips of the stems bear huge, open flow-

identified and named by Dr. R. T. Clausen, Assistant Pro- 
fessor of Botany at Cornell University. Neat, compact mats, 
less than one inch high, with yellow flowers on short stems. 
One of the nicest Sedums we have seen. This tiny, grayish- 
leaved Sedum was discovered in the Rockies and introduced 
by Mr. F. J. Borsch. It needs a gritty, loamy soil in a 
choice spot in light, high shade. $1.00. 
SENECIO *tyrolensis—Dwarf and compact with finely cut, ever- 
green foliage topped by brilliant, orange, Daisy-like flow-

$1.00.

Islands, with pink flowers in mid- and late Spring and again

supplied with humus and abundant Spring moisture fol- 
lowed by almost complete dryness when the foliage dis- 
appears in Summer. Fall and Winter delivery. Mixed colors.
