THE SUCCULENT SEDUMS 
They are the foundation, of any collection of desirable 
hardy succulents ; in color and form of thick brittle foliage 
almost as diversified as the Cacti. Like Cacti, they are 
interesting always, not just when in flower, though the 
sheets of starry bloom are lovely enough, too. Rock garden, 
terrace, wall, hardy border, ground cover, there are Sedum 
species to fit each place and purpose. Many kinds are dec¬ 
orative as window or conservatory plants, others for porch 
box or hanging basket.
