THE: YELLOW ' SHEETS 
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 nurnber 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 wholesale quaniities 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 bybrid has 
never bloomed for me, color of foliage 
slightly different, a grey green one 
which I 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; Maximoiczi, 
—dittle known in U.S.A.—two varieties 
which are in dispute among the botan- 
ists who have seen them. The dealer 
from whom | 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. Will trade, plant for 
plant, any Sedum listed for starts of 
red or purple. Have had both 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. 
If unlabeled, Ic each in lot of 25. 
CONFEDERATE VIOLETS, grey 
effect, thrive in poor soil and can stand 
more sun than others. 
WHITE VIOLETS, force easily for 
late winter blooming IF you can keep 
mice away from the tiny buds. 
Wooly Violets, dwarf, very early. 
Full sun and poor soil. 
A red Violet, mid season. Needs 
moderate shade. 
Birdsfoot Violet, dwarf, very ea-ly. 
Full sun and poor soil. 
Wood Sorrell (wild Oxalis) attrac- 
tive, edible foliage, early flowezsing, 
very hardy. 
Blue and gold Iris cristata. Needs 
some shade. Will soon be up. 
Amethyst Iris cristata, needs same 
conditions as the other, but is especial- 
ly good for wall gardens. 
Virginia Creeper, well known vine. 
Deep red in fall. 
Five Fingers (Potentilla) small vine 
with some medicinal value. Found 
growing among rocks. Blooms in early 
summer. 
Christmas Fern, 214 ft. tall. Green 
through the winter with us, becoming 
shabby in the spring. Needs shade. 
Good for base plantings on north side 
of house. Very hardy, 10c. 
Ebony Spleenwort Fern, also green 
through winter, and unsightly in the 
spring. About 18 in. tall. Very hardy. 
Can stand more sun than the Christ- 
mas Fern, and often found growing in 
cracks of rocks and among roots of 
hardwood trees, 10c. 
Blunt Lobed Woodsia Fern, often 
found growing with the Ebony 
Spleenwort. Same conditions. Dies
