SEDUM CARNEUM VARIEGATUM. 



This is one of our most useful variegated plants, the white of the foliage prepon- 

 derates over the green, making the plant in the Summer season one of the very best we 

 have for massing or in ribbon-lines, in contrast with dark foliage. It is also excellent 

 for baskets, and it blooms freely in Winter. 



Price, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen ; included in set of thirty for $6. 



SEDUMS— Stone Crops. 



We have to offer this season thirty distinct species of Sedums, all of them interest- 

 ing and many of them very beautiful, both in foliage and in flower. The colors of the 

 flo.wers embrace the different shades of yellow, carmine, orange, pink, white, &c. 

 From the compact growing nature of many of the species, they can be used to form 

 letters in printing or writing, so that names or initials can be formed of the living 

 plants. From their entirely hardy nature, they have long been used for this purpose 

 in the cemetries of Europe. Being " succulent" plants, they withstand the severest 

 droughts, and will always do best when planted on rocks or high dry knolls. For vases 

 during the Summer months, they are exceedingly useful, as no ordinary neglect of 

 watering will injure them. 



Price, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen ; full set of thirty species, $6. 



SANCHEZIA NOBILIS. 



A hot-house plant, with broad, lance-shaped leaves, beautifully veined and marbled 

 with orange yellow. Comparatively new and scarce. 



Price, 75 cents each ; $6 per dozen.
