does in May and June. In mild climates it has produced flowers all through the 
summer and winter. A rare variety that is easy to grow in any garden soil-in sun 
Iberis sempervirens Little Gem. A dainty little plant with an overworked name, A 
dwarf, compact, upright grower about 6 inches at its highest. The closely set tiny 
leaves are completely smothered by the mass of white flower clusters in May and 
June. A plant of distinction that should have a place in every garden. It is lovely 
in rock crevices and dry walls. Ordinary garden soil in full sun or very light 
shade. (pH 6-8)

Iberis sempervirens Snowflake. Similar to I. sempervirens but with stouter stems and 
thicker leaves. The waxy white flowers are almost twice the size of the usual candy- 
tufts. One of the best edging plants as well as a remarkably fine wall plant, Ordin- 
ary garden soil in full sun. (pH 6-8)

Ilex crenata hellerii, A very dwarf and compact growing little shrub from 8 to 15 
inches high, with stiff, horizontally spreading branches covered with very small, 
rigid, leathery evergreen leaves. A striking little bush of unexcelled beauty that 
seems to have been created especially for rock gardens. It is permanent and easy 
in a rich, well drained acid loam in full sun or light shade. (pH 5-6) I have a plant 
over 30 years old that is only 12 inches high and 24 inches in diameter. All our 
plants are propogated from this specimen or its offspring. It is more dense and 
compact than some plants I have seen, It is wonderful for accent in the rock 
garden and even in dry walls.
