Succulent Plants for Table and Miniature Rock Gardens 



Much interest has been taken in the past few years in indoor rock gardens and many dishes, at one time used for Ferns for table 

 decoration, have been converted into miniature rock gardens but whether the planting is on a large or small scale, the fleshy leaved succu- 

 lent plants here offered are particularly useful and attractive for this purpose, all of them thriving with little care in the dry warm tem- 

 perature of our modern homes. From the vast variety of this class of plants known we have selected the six varieties here illustrated and 

 described as among the most attractive and desirable.

 prickles; glaucous green; very graceful and enduring.
