ALYSSUM PURPLE MANTLE 
(Procumbens Type) 
Many years selection m our 
Trial Ground has produced 
uniform flat plants 10 to 12 Macdonald 
inches in diameter and un- 
der 3 inches deep. In color tones it is an attractive deep purple 
violet—a bit deeper than Violet Queen. 
Purple Mantle and Carpet of Snow are natural compliments to 
each other, both being of similar habit and growth. Purple Mantle 
stays in flower over an unusually long period, with racemes of 
florets making a continuous display. As plants get older, it does 
not have the ragged spread appearance of other Alyssum. 
We are sure that gardeners everywhere will welcome Purple 
Mantle. It is so easy to grow and colorful for borders or mass 
effect plantings—where its rich purple color tones blend beautifully 
in the garden.
