THE SEDUMS 
These are the very type of desirable and hardy succu¬ 
lents; in color and form of thick, brittle foliage almost as 
diversified as the Cacti. Like Cactus, too, they are inter¬ 
esting always, not just when in flower, though when sheeted 
in starry bloom there can be no doubt but that the charm is 
enhanced. Mostly, they are of easiest possible culture.

flower-stems set with crispy foliage in close imbrication, 
and bearing dome-clusters of delectable waxy-pink bells, 
up-facing. Has biennial tendencies, but self-renews through 
natural seedage, so this is no drawback. Pkt. 25c. 
*SEDUM PULCHELLUM—eormlt(2)4. A pretty annual

mahogany. Soft pink blossoms, particularly starry, in 
loosely arching sprays. Sow seeds of this in late autumn

butterflies. Pkt. 15c.

usually in yellow, buff, or tawny red. Seed chaffy, being 
fine and hard to clean, but saved from a large and most 
variable collection. Pkt. 15c. 
*SENECIO ARENARIUS — eorbdx(3-5) 18. Called the 
Annual Cineraria, and it is a close relative of the florists’ 
Cineraria, and very like it in effect. The blossoms are in 
vivid rose, lilac, lavender, violet and purple, and it blooms 
for many months. Of easiest possible culture if given full 
sun and best of drainage. Pkt. 15c.
