SAXIFRAGA 
The Saxifragas are very much appreciated in England where they are 
called “the backbone of the rock garden.” The silver-encrusted, or mossy, 
foliage proves interesting at all times but some species do require special 
treatment. In general they appreciate shade from the noonday sun. They like 
a limy soil, the encrusted group particularly. 
S. baldensis 
one of the most exquisite and the smallest of the encrusted type; forms a 
low cushion of tiny rosettes beaded on their edges; silver sprays of creamy 
white flowers in June; 2” stems when in flower. $.75 each 
S. lingulata lantoscana superba 
one of the most highly prized by the great Farrer. It was considered by 
him one of the best of the encrusted Saxifragas. Medium-sized rosettes heavily 
encrusted; large white flowers on 12” stems; June, July bloomer. The beau- 
tiful sprays are not surpassed by any other. $.75 each 
S. macnabiana 
medium sized, with heavily-encrusted rosettes; sprays of white flowers 
dotted pink on 12” stems blooming in June. The rosettes color heavily in the 
winter. 
MOSSY SAXIFRAGA 
S. decipiens (superba) 
This form of decipiens has caused many comments at our exhibits. It is 
indeed a very fine mossaie and a joy to possess. It has a deep crimson bud 
which opens to a brilliant rose flower fading to a pale pink. After a week 
this flower drops off to be immediately succeeded by two flowers, hence the 
name decipiens or deceptive. Must be planted against rocks; will disinter- 
grate in the open; very slow spreader, flowers 4” tall in April, May. You owe 
it to yourself to enjoy this exquisite nymph. 
S. cordifolia (megasea) 
very large deep-green leaves in rosettes, turning to beautiful shades of 
rosy bronze in the winter; large pink flowers on 8” to 12” stems; May flower- 
ing. 
SEDUMS 
The genus Sedum is a vast one containing many hundreds of species and 
hybrids. Most are sun loving. They will thrive and increase in the poorest 
‘soil, between rocks and other dry spots where other plants would perish. 
Many have interesting foliage that colors beautifully during the autumn and 
yin months. All the varieties we are offering are distinct. 
- acre 
mass-like foliage which is dark green; an inch or more tall and a fast 
ereeper; bright yellow flowers on 2” stems; blooms in early summer. 
S. acre minor
