SEDUM. Stonecrop. (Crassulaceae, Orpine Family) 
To many people, a Sedum is a bad weed that overruns the whole garden, killing all 
the little plants it encircles, and with all the weeding in the world, it cannot be ex- 
terminated. Formerly these rampant invaders were offered in catalogues as choice rock- 
plants, but people have learned their lesson and are trying to avoid them. However some 
may still be found in lists of general nursery stock. 
None of the Sedums listed below are weedy. A few of them are slow spreaders, but 
they act like gentlemen at a Tea Party. The majority are clump forming, coming up year 
after year exactly where you planted them. 
Sedum brevifolium. A very tiny plant from the Mediterranian Region, seldom more than 
half an inch high. It forms little mats of thin, twisting red stems, clothed with tiny, 
cylindrical gray leaves and topped with little white flowers in July. An interesting 
little plant that will always be a pleasure to you. It requires a gritty lime ‘soil in 
full sun. (Ph. 7-8 50c Each. 3 for $1.25." 2eiomese 
Sedum cauticolum. A beautiful clump forming species from Japan. Prostrate, slender 
purple stems with blue-gray, thick, fleshy leaves. Large clusters of deep rose flowers
