PRELUDE 
We propagate and grow a general line of 
Perennials and Succulents for both wholesale and 
retail trade, our efforts being directed mainly 
toward the production of the less common kinds; 
varieties not usually found in everybody’s garden. 
Of course there are some of the really good 
ones, time tested and climate proof that every¬ 
body loves and always will that are common or 
old fashioned, and we grow them for the reason 
that they’ll always be in demand and will always 
satisfy. 
For some years past we have specialized in 
Hardy Sedums and at the present time have the 
most complete collection of correctly named 
Sedums in the country. We are constantly adding 
to the authentic list as rare and little known 
varieties are checked and compared with the best 
known World authorities on this widely distri¬ 
buted and numerous family of succulents, and 
their true identity established. 
It must be remembered that the sedum grows 
in almost all parts of the world, many of the 
tropical varieties are tender and cannot be grown 
out doors where the temperatures fall to freezing. 
These will not be found in our list, although we 
have a few varieties from the sub-tropical 
countries that are hardy here with slight protec¬ 
tion, and of these latter we will say that among 
them are some of the very best sorts for the 
southern states. There are other varieties coming 
from the high alpine region of the far North 
where low temperatures prevail most of the year, 
and these will be found more or less difficult in 
the hot dry climate of our central and southern 
states. Sedums are indispensable to the Rock 
Garden now so popular. As well think of having 
a pool without water plants as a rock garden 
without sedums. 'Many of the taller sorts are 
very desirable for the hardy border, their hardi¬ 
ness, resistance to drouth and late summer bloom¬ 
ing commend them especially for this purpose. 
At the end of the following alphabetical price 
list will be found a list of the most popular vari¬ 
eties grouped according to climate adaptability. 
Unless otherwise stated all orders will be filled 
with well grown field clumps. The prices in this 
list include prepayment of transportation charges.
