S. pulcher is an old and useful kind bearing purple red flowers with yellow centers while the more rare though old S. Smithii is a fine white flowering kind. Allysum saxatile compactum is well known as a fine, dwarf, early flowering plant with golden yellow flowers. Those of the newer citrinum are a paler, sul- phur yellow equally attractive. Both can be propagated now by division or seed.
