valuable for planting in the rock garden or for drifts in 
front of or below evergreens; may also be attractively 
used for clumps here and there in the early flower border. 
In early April the delightful, very showy flowers appear, 
about six inches above the ground, spreading themselves

evergreens. Height, 18 inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per
