Alyssum gives a neat finish to flower beds.

full-double, large, and on long stiff stems ideal 
for cut flowers. They bloom after the Cregos and 
ahead of the California Giants.

Single Asters 
1830—Single Giants of California Mixed 
Colors. One of the most effective cut flowers 
because the stems are so long, clean and 
sturdy and the colors so lovely. Seed may be 
sown directly in the garden in the spring.

Early Giant Asters. 
ALYSSUM 
The most popular edging plant because of the 
ease with which it can be grown. The new dwarf 
varieties make broad mounds of pearly white 
which are sweet scented. 
If the plants get scraggly in mid-summer, they 
may be sheared back to several inches in height 
and in a week or ten days will be compact masses 
of bloom again. 
2020—Sweet Alyssum. Very fragrant. Grows 
10 inches high and 2 feet wide. Very good to 
sow in front of Purple Prince Petunias or Bon- 
fire Salvia. Pkt. 10c; 44 Oz. 30c; Oz. 90c. 
2021—Little Gem. Unexcelled for white edging. 
The most upright growing plants are small 
round mounds about 6 in. high and 10 in. 
across. Pkt. 10c; 144 Oz. 35c; Oz. $1.10. 
2022—Carpet of Snow. The best for a very low 
flat edging or ground cover. They grow as 
round flat plants only 3 to 5 in. high and 12 to 
15 in. across. If the sides of the plants are 
kept sheared back they will make a very low, 
compact white edging all summer. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 40c; Oz. $1.30. 
2023—Violet Queen (New). Heretofore this 
color has been too pale, but now we have a 
much deeper and more uniform deep lilac. The 
plants are of the same popular size as Little 
Gem. Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 60c; Oz. $2.00.

white quilled centers. The colors are in 
beautiful shades of azure, rose, and purple 
with cream, white and yellow centers. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 14 Oz. $1.50. 
DDT 
Tests have proved conclusively that 
this new insecticide will control leaf 
hoppers which distort the flowers and 
transmit the aster yellows disease. See 
page 83.
