cess in growing - some of the more temperamental 
Sedums. While in the main, Sedums will thrive 
in most any old place and are regarded as being 
among the easiest of all rock garden subjects, 
many of the very finest of them will show such 
a wonderful appreciation of a little special atten¬ 
tion in the way of shade, moisture, soil and sea¬ 
sonal temperatures, that any one who loves them 
will be glad to meet their simple requirements 
if they know just what these requirements are. 
So we are grouping the varieties according to 
their special needs, which if observed will be a 
lot of help to those unfamiliar with the many 
rare and less common sorts. It may save losses 
and add to the satisfaction of growing this most 
versatile genus of rock plants. 
GROUP A 
The following group will be happy in average 
garden conditions, north or south. Many if not all

isfactory in almost any part of the U. S. A.
