SEDUM. C'rassulaceae. Stonecrop. Se- 
dums are a rich source of rock garden mate¬ 
rial, and some of them endure drought and 
dry corners where little else will thrive. - 
This is not true of all of them, because a 
few are bog plants, several do best with 
shade, and the majority enjoy soft luxury, 
as opposed to sterile conditions. like other 
succulents they have a general preference 
for good drainage, with dry surfaces to re¬ 
cline upon. 
All Sedums, except where noted, are of¬ 
fered at 30 cents each, a dozen of one vari¬ 
ety for $2.50.
