THE HARDY SUCCULENTS 
A group of winter-hardy succulent plants of 
particular value in the rockery, but some of 
them also for the border, for ground covers, or 
even for bedding. 
AGAVE PARRYI — erbdfx60. Succulent basal 
rosettes and tall spikes of tufted old rose flow¬ 
ers. Comes from high in the Utah mountains. 
Pkt. 15c; spec. pkg. 35c. 
EUPHORBIA MYRSINITES—erbxl2. Half-trail¬ 
ing stems, closely set with thick and fat blue- 
green leaves. Yellow flower crowns. Very hardy 
and exceedingly ornamental. Pkt. 15c; spec, 
pkg. 35c. 
GORMANIA WATSONI—ergx8. Successive ro¬ 
settes of gray wedge-shaped juicy leaves, with 
heads of dainty cream yellow bloom. Pkt. 15c; 
spec. pkg. 35c. 
LEWISIA FINCHI—ryl2. Evergreen, with 
crinkly emerald leaves that take on red tints in 
the sun. Each rosette throws several slender 
bloom scapes, giving sometimes hundreds of 
flowers in the season. Bright orange buds that 
open to soft pink blossoms, each petal with a 
rose stripe. A plant in full flower is a lovely 
thing. Give this and L. Howelli porous well- 
drained soil, with some light shade, but see that 
they do not suffer from lack of moisture. Pkt. 
20c; spec. pkg. 50c. 
LEWISIA HOWELLI—rylO. Wide creeping, very 
dwarf rosettes of beautifully crisped and succu¬ 
lent gray-green leaves, with many large flowers 
of clear pink to apricot rose, often orange striped. 
Exquisite. Pkt. 20c; spec. pkg. 50c. 
LEWISIA REDIVIVA—ry8. Dense rosettes of 
thick linear leaves. The great cup-like flowers 
remind one of feathery pink Water Lilies, and 
there are many of them. In bloom I consider 
this as the most beautiful of all rockery plants. 
Deciduous, the succulent leaves disappearing 
after flowering. Give good drainage and full sun. 
Pkt. 25c; spec. pkg. 60c; 1-16 oz. $1.00. 
MANFREDA VIRGINICA—bh60. Brittle, richly 
marbled basal leaves, with tall flower spikes 
carrying many purple-shaded creamy blossoms. 
Pkt. 25c. 
SAXIFRAGA ENCRUSTED—rbh. Crispy leaves 
showing silvery effects produced by natural en¬ 
crustations of mineral. Sometimes the leaves are 
beaded with sparkling crystals. Clustered flowers 
in white, pink, rose, orange and yellow. These 
are the truest rock plants. Pkt. 25c; sp. pkg. 60c. 
SAXIFRAGA MOSSY—rbh6. Here the leaves 
are mossy, closely tufted to form dense cushions, 
and the flowers, while in the same color range as 
the Encrusted, are even daintier and more ethe- 
rial. Pkt. 20c; spec. pkg. 50c. 
SAXIFRAGA COTYLEDON—rbh24. Plume Sil¬ 
ver. Tufted leathery, bronze-shaded leaves, 
beaded with silvery sparklets. Immense towering 
panicles of charming white blossoms, but some¬ 
times the petals are dotted or suffused with pink. 
Pkt. 20c; spec. pkg. 50c. 
SEDUMS MIXED—ergx4 (tol2). Fully hardy and 
easy succulents that vary exceedingly in form of 
leaf, in habit of growth and in color of foliage,
