LITTLE CEM 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 Dloom 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 havo been called “Snow 
White Carpet Plant.” Of the easiest culture. Do not 
forget this favorite, fragrant flower when you order.

Be Sure and read the following from H. A. Me 
Quiston, PansySpecialist of Preble Co., O. 
“ Mr. A. T. Cook: — I have used the best Pansy Seed of I 
many leading seedsmen, and yours clearly surpass them all in 
vigor of plants, si/e and number of blossoms, and great di¬ 
versity of color. Everyone greets them with words of praise 
and astonishment. It is no trouble to sell plants from yourf 
seeds—they sell themselves.” 
From Miss Mary Nesbit, Pa. “ I had the loveliest of flower | 
beds from your seed, and lots of people walked two miles to j 
1 get a bouquet. Many city boarders came and purchased 
j flowers. The Sweet Peas, Sweet Williams, and Verbenas J 
j were especially beautiful. I capnot thank you enough for 
1 the extras. M y Aunt said, M I have seen people get extras, but
