A nev^ introduction from the United States Agricultural Department. 
A very interesting herbaceous family, especially in their new growth, which 
forms a stout, edheveria-like rosette. Of Mexican origin, they are related to 
the sedums', but not hardy. 
SEMPERVIVUM, L. — Live for ever — House Leek — Hen and Chicken. 
This name comes from the latin, "Semper," meaning: ''always, and 
''vivus/' living. In form, manner of growth, etc., they resemble very much 
the "echeveria" type, but easily distinguished from the latter by their always 
hairy-like margin of the leaves which ends to a stump poant. This class of 
plants are devided into four parts, ''aeonium'' being the highest standard type, 
very elegant and rare. They form a single stalk, or stem, about one-half to 
one inch diameter and one or two feet high, upon which a large, perfect flat, 
plate-like rosette, often measuring one to one and one-half feet diameter, rests. 
They seldom make any offsets, therefore being very rare and high priced. 
Next comes the ''stove or house sempervivums/' which generally grow in form 
of a miniature shrub, each branch bearing at their end a more or less perfect 
little rosette of about one to two inch diameter. Some of those varieties are 
sending from their branches an immense lot of air roots down to the ground, 
giving it very much the resembling of the well-known tropical forest with 
their dense growth of palms, typical with their air roots and vines clinging to 
them. The third class, commonly called "house leek or hen and chickens," 
are perfectly hardy, well adapted fo-r rockeries, to cover old stone walls, stone 
piles, etc. In Southern Europe we often find the roofs and walls covered with 
some of thOiS-e varieties and growing there the same way as our "ampelopsis ' 
•in this country. Their low-rosette growing form and different coloring of
