SEMPERVIVUM. Houseleek. Hen-and- 
Chickens. All that has been said of the 
Sedums, applies to this family. Our col- 
lection consists of about 60 varieties. We have 
made every effort to have them named cor- 
rectly. Except in a few cases, they are each 
and all distinct. Culture is simple, all sorts 
thrive in our sandy loam. They like a bit of 
peat in the soil, and more moisture than do 
the Sedums. We are describing a few of the 
more choice kinds, and listing all our col- 
lection by name, and will gladly answer ques- 
tions about them, to the best of our ability. 
arachnoideum. Best known as the Cobweb 
Houseleek, for a grey mat of tiny threads 
connects the tips of each leaf of the rosette. 
atroviolaceum. This form, and a number of 
others, which we list as species are probably 
variations of the common Houseleek, S. tec- 
torum. This is a very large rosette, often 
6 inches across, and attractively colored red- 
dish purple. 
blandum. A _ large reddish rosette, 
tractive and sturdy. 
very at- 
calcareum. A _ very beautiful rosette, glaucus 
blue, with faint pink staining, and tipped 
red. 
fauconetti. A tiny rosette, an inch across, but 
of course soon making a large mat. The 
leaves are very slender and needle-like, bright 
green. 
Lowns No. 60. Much like pittoni, described 
below, but the entire rosette is stained a soft 
rose. 
Oakwood Seedlings. A number of mixed forms, 
deriving from the larger reddish types, and 
very attractively marked. 
pittoni. Makes a fair sized rosette, each leaf 
so pubescent as to look as if made of plush. 
A dull green in color, but tipped light red. 
regina-amaliae. Large, soft green rosettes, 
which grow so tightly together as to make it 
impossible to separate them, without a knife. 
The flowers are yellow. A very attractive 
rare sort. 50 cts. each. 
rubicundrum hybrids. These are all large 
rosettes, brightly colored rose purple, of vary- 
ing intensity. 
soboliferum. Of interest to many, because the 
tiny new rosettes are loosely attached to the 
parent, and roll off and away, at the first 
touch. 
tectorum. The old familiar Houseleek, making 
large carpets quickly, and possibly the best 
of them all, for covering ledges, etc. 
triste. The brightest red sort we have ever 
grown.

COLLECTION OFFER. Your choice of any 
ten sorts, correctly labelled, for $1.00. Small 
single rosettes, only. 
SILENE. Catchfly. Campion. Silenes are 
widely distributed over the world, and are 
of the easiest culture. Yet in the rockery, 
and the border, they provide bright patches 
of color, and a number of forms are of real 
beauty. 
wherryi. A low tufted plant, with rather at- 
tractive foliage. The flowers are a clear 
bright pink, on 8-inch stems, above the foliage, 
in June and July. 
STATICE. Sea-Lavender. The botanists have 
separated this group of plants, and now dis- 
tinguish it as Limonium, and they tell us that 
the plants we know as Armerias are truly 
Statice. Correct they may be, but it is dif- 
ficult to catalog these plants without a lot of 
explanation, so we retain the name we have 
used for so long. The plants make a tuft of 
leathery evergreen leaves, and send up 
branching stems, to 2 feet, the tiny flowers 
In an airy panicle. They like a deep and 
well drained soil, without excess moisture at 
any time. Useful for cutting, and fine in the 
border.
