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 alpin© 
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.

ly confused. We are giving the descrip¬ 
tion of only the more rare forms, but can

arachnoideum in the following forms:
