MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 
ASPARAGUS VERTICILLATUS. 
Indies who arrange cut flowers or do much decorating 
often lack plenty of green. With its fine feathery foliage, 
this is invaluable for these purposes, and with its bright 
scarlet berries it also makes a fine show anywhere. Ten 
feet Perennial. Pkt., O cts. 
CAPENSIS. 
A rare plant of great beauty, much prized by those 
▼/ho know it, thriving in shady, out-of-the-way 
places where nothing else will grow. The flowers 
arc borne in great abundance and somewhat resem¬ 
ble the J ; orgct-me-not, though they are much more 
showy and desirable for cutting, and are of a lovely, 
clear, deep blue, with white center. It commences 
to bloom early and continues late. Half hardy bi¬ 
ennial, but it generally blooms the first year. 20 
inches. Pkt., 3 cts. 
SWEET ALYSSUM (Benthaml). 
This, the common Alyssum, can never be displac¬ 
ed from favor, even by the very desirable ‘‘I y it- 
tle Ccm.” _ While the latter is perhaps better for 
edgings, this is unsurpassed for cutting. The long 
spikes of delicate white touch off a bouquet of Nas¬ 
turtiums, Pansies or other coarser flowers, giving 
them a finish and delicateness they do not have 
when massed alone. 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. The single flor¬ 
ets are larger and more closely crowded on the flower 
spike than in the common Alyssum, making a showier 
blossom and converting the plant into a mass of white, 
which remains in full bloom throughout the season. 
More than 400 clusters of flowers have been counted on 
a single plant. Pkt., 4 cts. 
AMARANTHUS. 
There are many varie¬ 
ties of Amarauthus, all 
showy because of their 
highly colored foliage or 
peculiar blossoms. If you 
want something striking 
along a fence or at the 
side of a house, plant a 
row of Amarauthus, alter¬ 
nating with Stella Surf- 
flowers or Eldorado Mari¬ 
golds, (or plant singly in a 
double row) and you will 
have a gorgeous coloring 
of yellow and dark ma¬ 
roon red for two or three 
months that will brighten 
the whole garden. I offer 
a. mixture of the most de¬ 
sirable varieties, viz., Tri¬ 
color (Joseph’s Coat), 
Moustrosus(Giant Prince’s 
Feather), Melancholicus 
Ruber, etc. Annual. Pkt., 
3 cts.
