THE YELLOW SEDUM. 



Please tell me about propagating and 

 growing the yellow sedum. J. H. C. 



We could speak more definitely if we 

 knew the species you allude to, Sedum 

 is a numerous genus with over 100 spe- 

 cies, many of them yellow. Sedum acre, 

 the well known stone crop, is one of the 

 most familiar. It is of creeping habit 

 and much used for covering bare spots 

 in cemeteries and for carpet bedding. 

 Any garden soil will do for it. In fact, 

 a rather poor stony soil is best, and any- 

 thing but a wet or damp place in win- 

 ter. It can be divided in the spring, or 

 rather small pieces can be taken off 

 older plants and put into the ground. 

 If we wanted a large lot of this plant 

 we should insert small pieces in flats 

 and when well rooted place the flats in 

 the cold frame for the winter. They are 

 mostly all natives of the temperate or 

 frigid zones. 



Years ago we grew a sedum for hang- 

 ing baskets. We knew it as S. Sieboldii, 

 but its correct name is Japonicum. There 

 is also a variegated form of it called 

 aurea marginata because the variega- 

 tion is a light yellow. It was propa- 

 gated in the fall, several cuttings in 3- 

 inch pots, and then kept at a low tem- 

 perature during winter and started grow- 

 ing with heat in April. It also has 

 yellow flowers. W. S. 



Chesire, Conn. — Nettie C. Smith is 

 doing a nice local trade. Her establish- 

 ment is not large, and she does all the 

 growing with one helper for the heavy 

 work. 



I CONSIDER the Review the best in 

 every respect of any florists' paper; it is 

 very helpful to me. — J. N. Holland, 

 Greenville, S. C.

for trial. We reiterate here— if it succeeds with 

 you as it does with us, it will prove the best 

 white carnation you ever grew. Despite the 

 variety's apparent failure in several places, we 

 strongly advise all growers to give it a trial. 

 We have been frank about its faults as developed 

 in other places. We doubt if these will develop 

 in many places. 



I Acd«»a we believe, will succeed general- 

 «f «>9ail.ra ly and will prove to be the best 

 red and white variegated ever disseminated. 

 Few varieties show as strong constitution as this 

 one does and it is a wonderful producer. Extra 

 fine stock of both varieties ready now. R. 0., 

 $2.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

LAST CALL 



ABUNDANCE 



Rooted cuttings from the soil, price, $10.00 

 per 100; $76 00 per 1000. Carnations have been 

 scarce for Easter around New York, espec- 

 ially whites. Abundance has done honor to 

 its name by providing thousands of blooms 

 for Easter, it will continue to do so until it 

 is time to make room for the young plants 

 from the field. Come and see them, they are 

 as full of shoots and buds as ever they were 

 at any time this season.
