SEDUMS—STONECROP 
Feeling that the sedum nomenclature is so mixed 
in the average catalogue and nursery we are offer¬ 
ing only those sedums which we feel may be trusted 
to be true to name. About fifty kinds of sedum are 
grown in our large rock garden but in many cases 
we cannot identify them absolutely. It seems pref¬ 
erable when purchasing, all but the commonly agreed 
upon named sedums, to do so personally. There¬ 
fore we offer no description of the following sedums 
but will gladly answer all inquiries concerning them.

SEMPERVIVUMS—HEN AND CHICKENS 
“The Houseleek's foliage is undoubtedly its for¬ 
tune. The thick rosettes come in a great variety of 
forms, some starry, some tight and fat and comfort¬ 
able, some loosely globular, some wide and flat. And 
the colors are lovely , imitating those of metals and 
the semi-precious stones. Among them may be 
found amethyst and jade, steel, copper and bronze, 
silver, aquamarine and verdigris, rose quartz and 
carnelian. Plants, these, for close inspection , not 
to be lost among the rampant riffraff of the rock 
garden among which they are too often deposited .” 
— Mrs. Wilder. 
SEMPERVIVUM arachnoideum. Dense masses of 
small rosettes with the leaves all interwebbed 
with more or less cottony cobweb from tip to tip. 
S. brauni. Greenish brown rosettes tipped red. 
Large rosettes and red flowers. 30c each. 
S. Doellianum. This differs from arachnoideum by 
its looser rosettes, distinctly less cobwebbed, and 
its duller pink flowers. 30c each. 
S. Fauconnetti. A very curious species with medi¬ 
um-sized rosettes, strongly ciliate, bearing some 
spidery filaments at the top of the leaves and 
large bright rose flowers. 30c each. 
Prices on all plants, except as noted, 25c each
