MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 



SWEET ALYSSUM. 



Unsurpassed for beds, 

 edgings, rock work or cut- 

 ting. Its deliciously fra- 

 grant, delicate, white flow- 

 ers afford a constant suc- 

 cession of bloom from 

 early summer to latest 

 frosts. Annual. 6 inches. 

 Pkt., 3 cts. 



LITTLE GEM 

 ALYSSUM. 



Splendid for cemetery 

 planting or for edgings. 

 The plants are dwarf and 

 compact, a single plant 

 covering a space from 15 

 to 20 inches in diameter, 

 which soon becomes one 

 mass of white, remaining 

 in full bloom throughout 

 the season. More than 400 

 clusters of flowers have 

 been counted on a single 

 plant. Pkt., 4 cts. 



Portland, la., Apr. 

 4, 1896.— "I sent to 

 your firm last year 

 for seeds and they 

 did splendidly, the 

 best of any I ever 

 had. I had a beau- 

 tiful flower garden 

 all summer long, 

 and a good many of 

 the flowers went to 

 Chicago to let in a 

 ray of God's 

 ful sunshine upon 

 some of the sick in 

 the hospitals." 



EVERLASTING SWEET PEA. 



The perennial Sweet Pea is most desir- 

 able and all should make its acquaint- 

 ance. The plants are small and feeble the 

 first season, but after that are very vigor- 

 ous and perfectly hardy. It bears a pro- 

 fusion of flowers in white and rose shades, 

 which appear in large graceful clusters, 

 and continues to bloom the summer 

 through. Mixed, white and rose. Pkt., 4c. 



SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus Barbatus). 



New and improved varieties of this old-fash- 

 ioned flower are now offered, producing large 

 heads of varied colors. Its fragrance and early 

 flowering add to its popularity. Although a 

 hardy perennial, the new plants do better, and 

 seed should be sown every year or two. If sown 

 in the fall it will make fine blooming plants the 

 following spring. Finest double, mixed. 

 Pkt., 2 cts.
