THE YELLOW SHEETS 
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 
to have a number of varieties of hardy 
Semps to offer. This 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. 1 0c each. 
I have wholesale quantities of the 
following Sedums: Sarmentosum, 
hardy to subarctic, pendant effect. One 
sent me Glaucum, much like album, 
but different flowers and winter color; 
album white flowers; evergreen with 
us, an album hybrid has never bloomed 
for me, color of foliage slightly differ- 
ent; a grey-green one, which I think is 
Altissum, good in rock garden, dish 
garden or as a pot plant; Acre and 
Sexanqulare 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 
No. 26 as the rare pink-flowered flow- 
ered Stoloneferum and No. 28 as 
Stoloneferum coccinea. The faculty of 
our State Experiment Station at Hope 
agree with him, but other botanists 
just as smart say that both are unusual 
Spurium hybrids. 
Have from one to a dozen plants of 
other varieties. | have only two plants 
of the tall Spectabile alba, the white 
House Leek. Will trade other Sedums 
for small rooted plants of the red, 
purple and variegated Spectabiles. 
Have had them, put them out in the 
yard and Bermuda grass killed thern. 
Any Sedum listed, labeled to the 
best of my knowledge, 5c. 
If selection is left to me, 50 well- 
rcoted Sedums, 10 varieties labeled, 
$1.00. 
If unlabeled, Ic each in lot of 25. 
SEDUM COLLECTION, 7 varieties, 
my selection, 25c. 
HARDY FERNS—Christmas Fern, 
found here in deep shade near water. 
The north side of a house would be a 
good site if water is available. Grows 
24 or more inches high. 
EBONY  SPLEENWORT _ Fern. 
Found here in dryer locations than the 
above, among rocks and under hard 
wood trees. Can stand a moderate 
amount of sun. A good rock garden 
variety, also for pot culture. Trans- 
plants very readily, but the leaves will 
die and it takes its own sweet time 
about putting out more. Both these 
varieties evergreen with us, and both 
hardy over most of the U. S. About 18 
inches tall. 
BLUNT LOBED WOODSIA Fern. 
I frequently find it growing close neigh- 
bor to the Ebony Spleenwort. Needs 
same conditions. Is a prettier Fern for 
cut flower use. Hardy but deciduous. 
Does well in pots. Seldom more than 
a foot tall. 
LADY FERN—One of our tallest 
and handsomest Ferns. Needs as much 
water as the Christmas Fern to do its 
best, but can stand more sun. Better
