SEDUM {Stone Crop) 
Sedums may be prostrate or erect growing. Both are largely used 
in rockeries. You’ve read, perhaps, that their use is vulgar, but 
having seen the finest rock gardens that America aflfords, we still 
lift up our voice for sedums—in their places. They all like sun 
and sand. 
Acre —{Golden Moss). Prostrate, spreading; lifting yellow florets 
just above the green foliage. (B) 
Sarmentosum —^Prostrate. Far more rapid grower than Acre. 
Excellent for filling the chinks in a garden walk. (B) 
SiEBOLDi —Glaucous foliage prostrate, pinkish flowers late in the 
Summer. The foliage turns bronzy as the season progresses. 
A difficult sedum and a lovely one. (E) 
Spectabile —Erect growing. Light glaucous foliage with broad 
flat heads of rosy flowers in Autumn. It’s common, yes, but so 
are roses. Do you keep bees? Then here is a rich supply of 
honey. (B) 
Stoloniferum (B) A woody sedum, about six inches in height 
with evergreen foliage and purple flowers in July. Good rockery 
piece. 
SEMPERVIVUM {House leeX) 
Tectorium —^Heh and Chickens (C) 
The common house leek of old fashioned gardens. Lovely rosettes, 
of antique bronzy green. Flowers, a pallid red, in a single stalk 
about nine inches in height. 
SHASTA DAISY—See Chrysanthemum Maximum. (C) 
SOUTHERNWOOD—See Artemesia. 
SPIREA— {Goat's Beard) (C) 
Filipendula Flore Pleno —Fernlike foliage of exceeding grace, 
bearing feathery panicles of double white flowers on stiff wiry 
stems about one foot in height.
