Here is the stiff white-heath aster, the familiar Michaelmas daisy, that is so completely covered with snowy flowers that the foliage is obliterated, and proves its hold upon the affections by its long string of names, frostweed, white rosemary, and farewell summer being among them, and also the white-wreath aster, with the flowers ranged garland-wise among the rigid leaves, and the stiff little savory-leaved aster or sand starwort with pale violet rays.
Close by, another yellow flower, smaller but more pickable, is just now waving, the rock rose or frostweed, bearing two sorts of flowers: the conspicuous yellow ones, somewhat resembling small evening primroses, while all the ground between is covered with an humble member of the rock rose family the tufted beach heather with its intricate branches, reminding one more of a club-moss than a true flowering plant.
From time to time the halved plants were compared with each other, and the cultures lasted, as a rule, during the lifetime of the individual, often covering many years. The common European frostweed or Helianthemum vulgare will serve to illustrate his results. A large plant growing in the Pyrenees in an altitude of 2,400 meters was divided.
