Rock Garden Plants 
SEDUM (Stonecrop, Liveforever) 
The ideal Rock Garden plant. Low growing, filling in 
nicely around the rocks. Sedum are hardy and require no 
winter protection. No rock garden is complete without an 
assortment of various kinds of sedum. We list below vari¬ 
eties that have proven very satisfactory in our plantings: 
Acre (Golden Moss). Much used for covering graves; 
foliage green; flowers bright yellow; prostrata and slow¬ 
ly spreading. 
Album. Dwarf and spreading; thick, waxy round foliage; 
White flowers; good rock plant. 
Altissimum. Compact; fleshy blue-green sharply pointed 
leaves. Very pretty plant. ' 
Kamtscliaticum. Orange-yellow flowers, with prostrate, 
green foliage, turning golden in autumn. 
Reflexnm. Creeping, reddish stems; nodding buds; heads 
of yellow flowers; very choice kind. 
Sarmentosum. Excellent dwarf variety for rockeries or 
bordering edgings. The best Sedum for filling seams be¬ 
tween rocks in wall garden; rapid grower. 
Sexangulare. Very dark green foliage; yellow flowers; 
habit much like that of the Acre. 
Stoloniferum. Most desirable; evergreen leaves; flowering 
purplish pink. July and August. Excellent for Rock 
Garden. 
Spectabile. One of the prettiest erect growing species, at¬ 
taining a height of 18 inches, with broad, light green 
foliage and immense heads of handsome, showy, rose 
colored flowers; indispensable as a' late fall-blooming 
plant.

subjects for the hardy border and rockery. They will 
thrive in a rich, well-drained soil in an open situation in 
full sun.

flowers, pink; July. 
Rupestris. A fine rock plant growing 3 to 4 inches high; 
thickly matted, deep green foliage, hidden in early June 
under a cloud of bright blue flowers. Does well in light 
shade and is also a good ground cover for shrub gorders.

very fine variety for the middle of the hardy border. For 
best results lift and divide every three years, and fer¬ 
tilize well with bone meal. Grows about 24 inches tall.
