. Alpine plants. Mountain plants; Rock gardens. CHOICE PLANTS FOR ROCK GARDENS i8i coated with downy hairs. Flowers white or yellow, and in some cases pink or red, in loose panicles. Useful for shady places. Examples: S. aizoides, S. tricuspidata, etc. Tridactylis.—Annuals with fleshy leaves, divided, and resembling sedums in appearance, flowers white. Readily reproduced from seed. Sunny positions. Example: S. adscendens. A few of the foregoing sections have but a very small number of species or varieties, but others embrace a great number of distinct species and useful varieties. The Euaizoonia, including the en- crusted kinds, is perhaps the most attractive and serviceable for small rockeries in sunny positions, although the Dactyloides contains many delightful varieties that will make a beautiful display without unduly spreading. The Kabschias are extremely beautiful, and are particularly suitable for cultivation in pans or pots for the alpine house or frame. For the encrusted type Umestone or Hme rubble is essen- tial to intensify the edging of limy substance that so greatly enhances the beauty of the rosettes of foliage even during winter. The mossy kinds will thrive quite weU in ordinary soil, but it is advisable from time to time to mulch with gritty sandy compost, working it well down among the stems beneath the cushions of Saxifraga Decipiens. a Good Mossy Variety (Dactyloides Section)..
