LITTLE CEIV1 SWEET ALYSSUM. 
The Little Gem plants are very dwarf, and each one 
spreads so as to completely cover a circular space 12 to 
16 inches in diameter. They soon become one mass of 
white, remaining in full bloom from spring to fall. 
More than 400 clusters of flowers in full bloom have 
been counted on one plant. Little Gem is sweetest and 
best of all flowers for single specimens, borders, rib¬ 
bons, etc., and might well have been called “Snow 
White Carpet Plant.” Of the easiest culture. Do not 
forget this favorite, fragrant flower when you order
