How incomplete this walk would be without 
the edging of Alyssum. 
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. 
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.

‘Harris seeds have the best germination, and 
the truest to catalogue description, of any seeds I 
have used. I sell a few flower plants in the spring, 
and I’m always sure customers will be pleased with 
blooms from Harris plants.”

of Blue Bedder Ageratum.
