41 THE SUCCULENT SEDUMS 
They must be, always, the very heart of any collection 
of desirable hardy succulents; a wall or stepping-stone 
planting, a flagged terrace or walk, would have scant 
charm without them, even though other gaudier flowers 
may center interest; the rock garden needs their foil, 
their color, their daintinesses of starry blossoming. In 
diversifications of thick, brittle foliage, they rival the 
Cactus. Soft apple-greens, frosted filigreeings, blue with 
dust of silver, bronze reflections, white or purple variega¬ 
tions, tones of rose, red and maroon, all these paint their 
leafage. They may be filmy earth-clingers, velvety cushions, 
rambling, rampant mounders, or taller sheafs of arching, 
fat-leafed stems. In blossom they run as wide a range, 
white, cream, lemon, gold, orange, pink, rose and crimson, 
with carmine and lilac, even upon occasion, hint of apri¬ 
cot. In this splendid blend are Sedums to meet every 
need, ground carpeters, border perennials, kinds, too, for 
window or conservatory plants, porch boxes or hanging 
baskets. Mixed Sedums. ekt. Pkt. 15c; 1/32 oz. 25c.

Short, thick leaves in compact succulent rosettes, often 
suffused with rose or red, or again painted with purple. 
In the spider-web forms the entire plant is knit and 
entangled in silvery gossamer filaments. Oddly thatched 
stalks carry attractive fiowers, usually in yellow, buff, or 
tawny red. We offer here a mixture of seeds saved from 
a fine collection of species and varieties. It should yield 
seedlings of surprising beauty and variability. Sow seeds 
in open-ground seed-beds in latest autumn, or at earliest 
possible moment in spring. Pkt. 15c.

plant of each of six distinct kinds, unlabeled, for 60c.

of blossoms immediately above and below it. Pkt. 16c.
