HARDY ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
HARDY SEDUMS. All Sedums | 
call hardy can survive 15 below zero 
without protection. Some of them are 
hardy in the sub-Arctic. Most are fine 
for rock garden plants. Last year my 
Sempervivums made almost no in- 
crease. This year most are ‘hatching’ 
chicks, and when my backlog of orders 
left from last year are filled, | hope te 
have a number of varieties of hardy 
Semps to offer. There is a rock garden 
plant par excellence. Most of the dwarf 
plants listed under other heads, and 
many of the wildlings, are also good 
for rock gardens. 
I have a few plants of alum root to 
spare. [This is a fine rock garden plant 
and also good as a pot plant. 10c each. 
Any of the above plants 5c each, 
unless otherwise noted. 
HARDY CACTI—-10c EACH 
OPUNTIA VULGARE (Common 
Prickly Pear) hardy, flower creamy 
yellow, fruit edible. Can be used as 
pot plant. Thrives well in poor soil. 
OPUNTIA VASEYH, hardy on the 
Colorado desert. 
OPUNTIA ROBUSTA, stately lawn 
plant, hardy here to 15 below. ie 
OPUNTA RAMOSSISSIMA, hardy 
and dwarf, good in full sun in rock 
gardens, also good as pot plant. 
An almost spineless Opuntia found 
here in only one spot that I know of. 
I have wholesale quantities of the 
following Sedums: Sarmentosum, 
hardy to subarctic, pendant effect. 
One sent me Glaucum, much like al- 
bum, but different flowers and winter 
coloring; Album white flowers; ever- 
green with us, an album hybrid has — 
never bloomed for me, color of foliage — 
slightly different, a grey green one 
which [| think is altissum, good in rock — 
garden, dish garden or as a pot plant; © 
Acre and Sexanfulare much alike but 
different, both dwarf and good ground 
cover for clayey spots; Maximowiczi, — 
little known in U.S.A.—two varieties 
which are in dispute among the botan- 
ists who have seen them. The dealer 
from whom I bought them identified 
them as the rare pink-flowered Sto- 
loneferum, and No. 28 as Stolonefe- 
rum coccinea; and the faculty of our 
State Experiment Station at Hope, 
Ark., agrees with him. Other botan- 
ists just as well posted say that both 
are unusual Spurium hybrids. 
Have from one to a dozen plants 
of other varieties. | have only one 
plant of the Sedum Spectabile Alba, 
the tall White Houseleek. Will trade 
other Sedums for small rooted plants 
of pink, red and purple Spectabiles. 
Have had all three and put them out in 
the yard where Bermuda grass killed 
them. | 
Any Sedum listed, labeled to the 
best of my knowledge, 5c. 
Seven well rooted, small clumps, all 
different, labeled to the best of my 
knowledge, 25c, postpaid. 
If selection is left to me, 50 well- 
rooted Sedums, 10 varieties labeled, 
$1.00.
