ALYSSUM, 



" Double Tom Thumb." 



The Single Tom Thumb Alyssum, 

 *jf^<jf^ X which we were the first to iiitro- 

 ' ■^^^ duce several years ago, has proved 

 " ' to be the best of all Alyssums for 

 either ribbon lines or pot plants. 

 This new variety has the same 

 dwarf habit as the Single, but its 

 trusses are much longer and the 

 florets double. The double floM-ers 

 hold on so long that the plant is 

 always in bloom, and never has that 

 ragged and unattractive appearance 

 that the old varieties have when out 

 of flower. (See ciit.)'

The plants and seeds shipped by you by express, arrived in excellent order, having been about nine days on the route. I feel that we could have done no better as 

 to price, in San Francisco, and not so well asto quality of the seeds and plants. — I. B. Parsons, Haywards, Cal., February 28th, 1888.
