Crassula Lactea 
The Flowering Crassula 
Native of Africa 
This plant greatly resembles the Japanese 
Rubber plant except instead of being an 
upright grower it grows prostrate or 
trailing. It is a very robust grower, mak- 
ing a very attractive plant. It flowers 
quite freely in large clusters of typical 
crassula white flowers. 15¢ 

Old Man Cactus 
Cephalocereus senilis 
Native of Mexico 
If we were asked to pick out the most 
popular cactus we would unhesitatingly 
pick out the Old Man. Never was a 
common name more appropriately given 
to a plant. From the seedling stage to 
giant specimens this plant is covered with 
fine long white hair. In Mexico this cac- 
tus grows 20 to 35 feet tall and it is esti- 
mated that they must be at least 200 
years old. Unless one sees this plant it 
is hard to realize that such a plant really 
grows. We offer nice 2 inch plants @ 40c 
Larger plants 50c to 75c. 
Hen and Chickens 
Sempervivium tectorum 
Native of Europe and the Orient 
The name “Sempervivium” means ‘live 
forever’ and is a fine name for this type 
of plant. It is hardy out doors even here 
in New England and makes a perfect 
Rock Garden plant. 15¢
