ECKEVERIA (Colulr-dnn). This is one of the most im- 
portant classes of succulent plants, and has received 
much notice of late years from the extensive use of 
some of the species in "carpet" and "mosaic" bed- 
ding, for which they are especially adapted— their 
dwarf character, regularity of form, real beauty, and 
habit of growth giving them a place occupied by no 
other plants. Some of the species are of taller habit, 
and bloom beautifully— in fact, the flowers of all are 
handsome, although it is not usual to allow them to 
form on the plants when used for bedding.
