A NTI RR H I NUM, giant flowering 



These form brilliant garden beds, flowering prodigiously and continuously the first 

 season from seed. Unusually effective bedding displays are made from these noble 

 plants; they grow about 2 feet high, are healthy and stocky, and completely enveloped 

 with large snap-dragon flowers of splendid texture and substance, rendering them very 

 durable under all conditions of weather; their continuous-blooming qualities, ease_ of 

 culture and independence of heat and drought, and pure, bright colors, should entitle 

 them to a permanent place in gardens. Although perennials, they do splendidly when 

 grown as annuals; spring-sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue 

 to bloom in increasing profusion until frost. The flowers are nearly double the size 

 of the older sorts.

SWEET ALYSSUH 



IMPROVED 

 VARIETIES OF 



"Carpet of Snow." The old-fashioned Sweet Alyssum has been 

 too long a favorite to need any introduction here. This new- 

 variety emits the same honey-like perfume, is of purer white, 

 and grows only 2 to 3 inches high and flowers even more 

 profusely; in fact, it is a perfect carpet of snow through- 

 out the season. We have counted as many as 300 heads 

 of pure white flowers open on one plant at one time. 

 For edgings and bedding this is a very satisfactory 

 little annual. Per ounce, 50c Pkt. 10c.

 is one of the finest plants for edgings and low beds, 

 flowering in unparalleled profusion for months.
