^UCCULENT plants are useful In many situations, both indoors 
and in the garden or on the lawn. They are especially avail- 
able for rockeries, and lend themselves to outdoor bedding in 
sunny places in a most distinct and effective way. Nearly all 
of the Agaves and many of the Aloes, and others of the robust habit, 
make handsome ornamental plants on lawns, or for decorating en- 
trances, balconies, etc., affording a most admirable contrast to the 
tropical foliage plants, while the e.xtreme beauty and regularity of 
"carpet " or "ribbon " beds wrought out with Echeverias as the prin- 
cipal factor is well-known. Many of the Cactuses and Mesembryanthe- 
mums are noted for their brilliant and beautiful flowers, of great range 
of color and form, and often richly fragrant ; while the strange and 
wonderful shapes and habits of the Euphorbias, Stapelias and Cras- 
sulas win for them much admiration.
