Seeds of Annuals 
Alonsoa Warscewiczii (Mask Flower) 
A dainty, graceful little edging annual, growing about 12 inches tall and throwing up con¬ 
tinuously slender, frail, flower spikes, which are dressed with Heneesia-like flowers of a bright 
orange scarlet during the whole summer. Seeds should be started in hotbeds during March or 
in hothouses earlier. 
This little plant can be used excellently, when artistic effects are desired. If you sow a 
border of Sweet Alyssum and set a plant of Alonsoa every 2 feet between the other, can you 
picture in your mind a dainty effect? Try it. Or sow a whole border of it directly behind the 
Alyssum.

Sweet Alyssum 
Every beginner includes this popular flower in his first selection, and it is good that he does, 
for it seldom fails. It requires least care of all, will flourish in all kinds of soil, may bo sown 
where it is wanted, will flower within six weeks after sowing, and remain in bloom until frost. 
Its sweet fragrance commends it to all. For edges of beds, or for vases, indeed, for all kinds of 
spaces in the garden, it is a gem. Rockeries depend on it for oolor effect at certain seasons of 
the year. For the same reason it is frequently used in hardy borders to cover the spots where 
Darwin Tulips flowered previously. As a ground cover for beds of Gladiolus it is stunning in 
effect. It is advisable to purchase Sweet Alyssum seed by the ounce or pound and apply it to 
every dull spot in the garden. Sow seeds sparingly to avoid the extra work of thinning out 
the young plants. 
100. — Bcnthami. What is known as the tall growing Sweet Alyssum attains a height of 
12 to 15 inches and has a tendency to fall over, hence it covers a larger space and is 
particularly well adapted for vases and hanging baskets, but fully as popular for edging 
walks or flower beds.Pkt., S .05; ox., $ .30; lb., $4.00 
110. — Carpets of Snow. The best variety for edging beds, as the plants grow very erect 
and only 4 inches high. The plants begin to bloom when quite young and are a com¬ 
plete mass of snowy white blossoms from earliest summer until the last days of autumn. 
Pkt., S .10; oz., S .60; X lb., $2.25
