In PENTSTEMONS we have about our best perennial plants, especially for dry
places and hot regions. All are pretty and all are showy. They like well-drained soil
and prefer it loose yet take to ordinary garden treatment.
P., California Blue Bedder, is perhaps the best. Low-growing with many blue to
pink flowers, io cts. each, $i per doz., $6 per ioo. I put them low in price to encourage
naturalization.
P. heterophyllus. Tall and slender, with blue flowers.
P. Menzie'sii, Newberry, is the pink-flowered sort of the high Sierras; fine.
P. Roezlii has bluish foliage and many light blue flowers, and is good.
All these named Pentstemons are 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., except Roezlii, which
is the same price as California Blue Bedder.
SAXIFRAGA Mertensiana is an exquisitely beautiful California rock-plant. It is
really bulbous, with a number of bulbs in a tuft, as I sell them. It can be handled
dry in the fall," but when planted soon pushes out many tufts of beautiful, crenated,
shining leaves and later slender stems with white flowers with conspicuous red anthers.
Very dainty for rockwork. Dry clumps in fall, 6 cts. each, 70 cts. per doz.; growing
clumps, $1 per doz.
S. peltata is the immense water plant, with shield-shaped leaves, in Sierran stream-
courses. A fine plant. 50 cts. each.
SEDUM spathulifolium covers a rock surface with a close mat of pretty, thick
leaves and produces many yellow flowers. The prettiest of all Sedums. 15 cts. each,
$1.25 per doz. for clumps.
SELENE californica, or the Mountain Pink. A most showy plant thriving in dry
soils and with little care producing its brilliant scarlet flowers all summer. Silene
Hookerii forms a low circling mat with the most exquisite soft pink flowers with cut
petals. One of the most beautiful wild flowers in America. Both of them at 15 cts.
each, $1.25 per doz.
I SMILACINA amplexicaulis is our best False Solomon's Seal, a fine plant for shade.
10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz.
SOLIDAGO californica is a low-growing Goldenrod. Solidago occidentalis grows
4 or 5 feet high, with fine, feathery panicles
and is splendid. Either sort at 10 cts.
each, 75 cts. per doz.
SPIKENARD, or Aralia californica.
See Aralia, page 20.
SYNTHYRIS rotundifolia is one of the
pretty woods plants which have their best
place in a rock-garden. We have no prettier foliage plant in the forest region.
10 cts. each, $1 per doz.
TELLIMA grandiflora is closely related
to the Heuchera, and is a most excellent
plant for rockwork for shady places. The
leaves are quite ornamental.
TIARELLA unifoliata, the Foam"
Flower, belongs to the same group as the
preceding; it has pretty leaves and filmy
white flowers on tall stems, which . will
make a beautiful effect when the plants
are placed closely.
TOLMIEA Menziesii is another plant
of the same group, and is a strong grower
which spreads by runners and forms dense
colonies, making a most excellent ground-
cover under shrub9 or ferns in shady places.
I can furnish plants of these three at 15
cts. each, $1.25 per doz.
