grit and perfect drainage is essential. 
All that we list are quite hardy and with good 
drainag'e will winter in perfect conditon out¬ 
doors. There is an endless variety to choose from, 
all having the characteristic manner of propa¬ 
gation which gives them the name under which 
they are best known, ‘‘Hen and Chickens.”

purple beauty. Because it is rather a slow propa¬

ably remain high, but it’s worth every cent asked.
