Special Sedum Collection —We will send, 
postpaid, 5 distinctly different Sedums,

SEMPERVIVUM —(Hen and Chickens) Of 
the easiest culture and the loveliest ef¬ 
fect as far as their carpets and masses 
of rosettes go; few things in the alpine 
or rock gardens being as valuable for 
their flowers as are the Sempervivum 
for their massed rosettes alone. While 
they do not need much soil, it must be 
friable and have some humus in it, con¬ 
sisting of a rich light loam, some well- 
rotted manure, a little leaf mold and 
some coarse sand or crushed rock screen¬ 
ings. Perfect drainage is essential. 
The names of Sempervivums are hope¬ 
lessly confused. We have in the neigh¬ 
borhood of 200 varieties and species, but 
the names of some are so unreliable that 
we will not list them. While we have 
done our best to identify the following 
forms, we can not guarantee all of them 
to be true or correspond to plants listed 
under same name by other growers, al¬ 
though we have not changed the name 
under which we bought them unless we 
were positive of the true name. We do 
not believe in sending out plants under 
names which are questionable, but can 
not see any improvement in sending 
them under number. 
*albidum—Large tectorum-like rosettes of 
light green leaves. 25c each.
