f)iaipopd Flow’eI* .-(Ionopsidium) 
A dainty little annual with tufts of tiny foliage and 
beautiful little white and violet-blue flowers that bloom 
within a month from the time seed is sown. It will grow in 
§ the open ground, over rock-work, or in pots, never 
exceeding three inches in height, and rarely two. 
The tiny flowers have a glistening sheen that has 
given them their name of Diamond Flower, and 
being surrounded by a wreath of bright green foliage, 
they show to wonderful advantage. For pot culture 
in winter it is jnst superb. Sprinkle a few seeds in a 
sntall pot or saucer, or in pots where other plants are grow¬ 
ing. and within a month you will have the most charming 
mat of foliage and flowers—covering tiie surface of the soil 
like moss— that you ever saw. In the garden it will grow 
and seed all summer, covering the ground with a perfect 
carpet of beauty. In the fall the self-sown seed will come 
up and bloom profusely from October until spring, regardless 
of ice and snow, making u lovely bed of flowers all winter.
