1 SEDUMS SUCCULENT 
A stepping-stone or wall planting, a flagged terrace, these 
each need the dainty erevice-haunting charm of the smaller 
Sedums, and the rock garden, too, is the better for their 
color foil, their pretty blossoming. The brittle foliage may 
come in softest of apple-greens, in frosted filigreeings, blue 
with dust of silver, bronze reflections, tones of rose, of 
maroon. They may be earth-clingers, cushions, rampant 
mounders, or taller clumps of fat-leafed stems. And in 
blossoms they run the scale of white, cream, lemon, orange, 
pink, rose and crimson. “+? culture. Seeds, in general 
mixture. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. 50c.

5 SNOW-TOSS 1 
An utterly distinctive, spectacular plant, new to gardens. 
And, rather surprisingly, it is both easy to grow and of a 
satisfactory winter hardiness. The many slender, willowy 
stems branch | and re-branch in like lithe supple slimness, 
each ending in an ever-lengthening, swaying flower-spike. 
Actual inflorescence open at one time is in form of rough 
snow-balls, purest light-reflecting white, so fragile and airy 
in their seeming that they might be fragments of soft 
big-flake snow tossed into the graceful whip-bough thicket- 
ings. In bloom constantly, early July to November, but as 
days become colder the blossoming takes on a hint of blush. 
Leaves are elongate, as tenuous as those of the Linum to 
which its name of Stenosiphon linifolius compares them. 
At Philadelphia, a fully winter-hardy shrub, but further 
north becomes an herbaceous perennial, blooming freely on 
new annual growth. So quick and easy is it that, sown 
early, it often flowers late first year. *ebx(3-4)85. Pkt. 25c. 
4 FOR EASY WINTER BLOSSOMS 3 
For easy and sure winter flowers, try SPARAXIS, one of 
the better bulb-flowers from South Africa. Big blossoms, 
well carried, several open at once, come in brilliant color- 
ings, lavender, lilac, cream, yellow, salmon, orange, scarlet, 
often zoned contrastingly. Illustrated page 54. This 
bulb winters in the garden well north if winter-protected.
