Seeds for Fall Planting

By AIDA

AIDA
For fall planting there is nothing so desirable as saxatile compactum, sometimes known as basket of gold, or golden saxatile, a brilliant, golden sweet alyssum, a very hardy perennial nine inches high. August 1 is a good time to sow, as the plants will get well established before cold weather, and will bloom very early in the spring, and make a beautiful display.
The perennial candytuft Iberis sempervirens, a white variety, is best sown in the fall. It is practically evergreen.
The gibratica is a lilac shading to white, a dwarf variety. It remains a beautiful green all winter, and blooms early in spring, and for a long period.
The candytuft is a general favorite, and is very sweet-scented. The seeds can be bought for from three cents a packet up, and no one should be without them.
