New Alyssum Royal Carpet 
A NEW ALYSSUM 
2024—Royal Carpet. This All-America Award 
Winner for 1953 is the answer to the need for 
a really low, rich colored edging and bedding 
plant. Warm violet-purple in color, only 4 
inches high but spreading to 12 inches, Royal 
Carpet is a bright band of color from early 
summer until autumn. Use it to edge borders 
and brighten rock gardens. Combine it with 
Alyssum Carpet of Snow for striking contrast.

IMPERIAL GIANT SCABIOSA 
4665—Mixed Colors. Sometimes we think we 
overdo our enthusiasm for these new scabiosas 
until we take a group of new home gardeners 
through our Test Gardens. Their excitement 
when they come upon the rows of Imperial 
Giants is always reassuring. Flowers are large, 
blooms are produced in abundance and the 
colors are clear and attractive. Our mixture 
contains white, rose, salmon, scarlet, crimson 
and shades of blue and lavender. 
Pkt. 15c; bg: Pkt. 25¢e; 14 Oz. 65c. 
For other Scabiosas, see pages 60 and 69.

GYPSY BEDDING PETUNIA 
3839—Since this’ F; hybrid was bred here at Moreton 
Farm two years ago we have been unable to keep up 
with the demand for seed. The husky uniformly dwarf 
and compact plants bear an abundance of large flow- 
ers for several months. The buds are bright scarlet 
but change to a warm burnished scarlet-salmon, with 
no trace of magenta, as they unfold. Easily grown 
from seed. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 50c; 500 seeds $1.00; 1000 seeds $1.75.
