large number of the dainty and small species like Linifolia, Batalini, Eichleri, etc., are especially 
recommended for the rock-garden, where the little groups of flowers are best seen to advantage. 
The large and more sturdy growers such as the Fosteriana’s, Kaufmanniana’s (listed under separate 
groups), and Cornuta Stenopetala (acuminata) with its wired horned petals are unequaled in a 
rich herbaceous border, where they multiply manyfold its excitement and glory in springtime.
