ARABIS - White Rock-Cress 
Useful plants, suitable for forming edgings to beds and borders, and 
fine for rockery or dry wail. 
Culture. Any good, ordinary soil that is not too damp will suit the 
Arabis. Plant 6 inches apart in autumn or spring. After the flowers have 
faded cut the straggling shoots back moderately to encourage a new 
tufted growth. Do well in either shade or full sun. 
*Alpina Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $20.00 
Pure white flowers produced in dense masses, splendid for border and 
rockery work, and last quite some time when cut. 
*AlIpina flore-pleno Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $5.75, 100 $30.00 
Same as above but with double white flowers; very fine rock plant and 
fine for cutting. Really a lovely thing when combined with other small 
flowers. 
Pink Charm Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $5.75, 190 $30.00 
A novelty of merit. Its bright clear true rose-pink flowers form a fine 
contrast for those of the white Arabis. Does quite well in shade, looks 
fine in the rock garden or on rock walls. Of easy culture ahd as hardy 
as the others. This variety completely replaces Alpina Coccinea which 
we have discontinued growing.

ASCLEPIAS - Butterfly Weed 
To this genus belong many species, most of them not worth while for 
the garden. Some may be used in the wild garden, but there are more 
worth-while plants even for that. Tuberosa is the only one considered.

a constant display of flowers the entire summer. Excellent for cutting.
