SWEET ALYSSUM 
The Sweet Alyssum is a Hardy Annual so well 
known and such a general favorite that it 
is scarcely necessary to call special atten¬ 
tion to it here. It is of the easiest culture 
both indoors and out, and is suitable alike 
for beds and edging in summer or for grow¬ 
ing in pots and boxes for winter blooming. 
It will stand considerable cold in the open 
ground and may be sown early; it blooms 
throughout the entire season until destroyed 
by hard frost. For winter flowering sow the 
seed in August or September. 
114. Lilac Queen. Distinct new variety of 
the annual Sweet Alyssum with pure lilac 
flowers. The plants are of dwarf, compact, 
upright growth and resemble when in full 
bloom a tiny Candytuft. Equally as useful 
for carpet-bedding or ribboning as the 
other white flowering dwarf varieties. .15

Sweet Alyssum 
AMARANTHFS. Very striking plants on ac¬ 
count of their beautiful varicolored foliage 
and peculiar mode of blossom. The leaves 
are always largest when plants are grown on 
rich soil, hut rather poor soil enhances the 
coloring. The seed can he sown in the 
house, or in a hot-bed, and transplanted to 
the place where wanted for effect. Half-
