Antirrhinums 



grown. The seeds were sown on March i3th, 

 and when seedlings were large enough to handle 

 they were pricked out into boxes, and according 

 to the official report " later on planted out in 

 an open, sunny situation, on soil moderately 

 manured, and planted in rows eighteen inches 

 apart each way. All made excellent growth, 

 flowered profusely through the summer and autumn, 

 and gave a glorious mass of colour, which was 

 much admired by visitors." 



Antirrhinums have hitherto, and are still, 

 classified according to their heights and colours. 

 As to height it has been the practice to speak 

 of them as tall, nanum and dwarf or Tom Thumb. 

 I was to some extent responsible for getting the 

 term " nanum " discarded by the Royal Horti- 

 cultural Society, and the following decision was 

 recorded, " The Floral Committee recommended 

 that the Antirrhinum should be classed as Tall, 

 Medium and Dwarf (or Tom Thumb). It was 

 considered that the term ' nanum ' often used 

 for the medium section was misleading." Messrs. 

 Sutton adopt the term " Intermediate," which is 

 excellent better even than "Medium," and I 

 hope to see it generally adopted. 



The heights of the different sections vary some- 

 what on different soils and in different situations,
