Succulent Plants 



Splendid Pot Plants. Also fine for Table and 

 Miniature Rock Gardens 



These are very interesting and curious plants of easy culture. They are mostly desert 

 plants which will subsist on an astonishingly small quantity of water except during their 

 active growing season. Plant them outdoors in the rock garden during the summer time. 

 Repot in the fall and carry over winter in the house. Our list includes a wide assortment 

 of all the better known kinds which are really desirable.
