Rock Garden Plants 
SEDUM (Stonecrop, Liveforever) 
The ideal Rock Garden plant. Low growing, filling in 
nicely around the rocks. Sedum are hardy and require no 
winter protection. No rock garden is complete without an 
assortment of various kinds of sedum. We list below vari¬ 
eties that have proven very satisfactory in our plantings: 
Acre (Golden Moss). Much used for covering graves; 
foliage green; dowers bright yellow; prostrata and slow¬ 
ly spreading. 
Album. Dwarf and spreading; thick, waxy round foliage; 
White dowers; good rock plant. 
Altissimum. Compact; deshy blue-green sharply pointed 
leaves. Very pretty plant. 
Kamtscliaticum. Orange-yellow dowers, with prostrate, 
green foliage, turning golden in autumn. 
Reflexum. Creeping, reddish stems; nodding buds; heads 
of yellow dowers; very choice kind. 
Sarmentosum. Excellent dwarf variety for rockeries or 
bordering edgings. The best Sedum for filling seams be¬ 
tween rocks in wall garden ; rapid grower. 
Sexangrulare. Very dark green foliage; yellow dowers; 
habit much like that of the Acre. 
Stoloniferum. Most desirable; evergreen leaves; dowering 
purplish pink. July and August. Excellent for Rock 
Garden. 
Spectabile. One of the prettiest erect growing species, at¬ 
taining a height of 18 inches, with broad, light green 
foliage and immense heads of handsome, showy, rose 
colored dowers; indispensable as a late fall-blooming 
plant. 
Spectabile Variegated. Green and white foliage. 18 inches. 
VERONICA 
A very interesting family of plants that form excellent 
subjects for the hardy border and rockery. They will 
thrive in a rich, well-drained soil in an open situation in 
full sun. 
Elegans. A nice erect growing variety, 12 inches; big 
dowers, pink; July. 
Rupestris. A fine rock plant growing 3 to 4 inches high; 
thickly matted, deep green foliage, hidden in early June 
under a cloud of bright blue dowers. Does well in light 
shade and is also a good ground cover for shrub borders. 
Spicata. Long spikes of violet-blue dowers all summer; a 
very fine variety for the middle of the hardy border. For 
best results lift and divide every three years, and fer¬ 
tilize well with bone meal. Grows about 24 inches tall. 
THYMUS 
Very choice low plants making dense mats. Excellent for 
rockeries or among stepping stones. Thrive in poor acid 
soil in sun. 
Coccineus. A carpet of dark green, with many dark red 
dowers in June-July. 
STATICE (Latifolia) 
(Sea Lavender). Broad, thick leaves; upright; finely 
branched panicals of small blue dowers; growing 1 to 2 
feet high. August-September. Splendid for cutting and 
drying. Endures driest weather. 
CARPATICA (Harebell) 
A pretty species growing in compact tufts, not exceed¬ 
ing eight inches high; dowers clear blue; held erect on 
wiry stems. It begins blooming in June, continuing until 
October. As an edging for a hardy border or for the rock¬ 
ery, it is unsurpassed.
