ANTIRRHINUM, GIANT-FLOWERING 



These form brilliant garden beds, flowering prodigiously and continuously the first season from 

 seed. Unusually effective bedding displays are made from these noble plants; they grow 

 about 2 feet high, are healthy and stocky, and completely enveloped with large snap-dragon 

 flowers of splendid texture and substance, rendering them very durable under all conditions 

 of weather; their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and independence of heat and 

 drought, and pure bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. Although 

 perennials, they do splendidly when grown as annuals: spring-sown seed produces flowering 

 plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing profusion until frost. The flowers are 

 nearly double the size of the older sorts.

:S» f SWEET flLYSSUM 



" Carpet of Snow." The old-fashioned Sweet Alyssum 

 has been too long a favorite to need any introduction here. 

 This new variety emits the same honey-like perfume, is of 

 purer white, and grows only 2 to 3 inches high and flowers 

 even more profusely: in fact, it is a perfect carpet of snow 

 throughout the season. We have counted as many as 

 300 heads of pure white flowers open on one plant at one 

 time. For edgings and bedding this is a very satisfactory 

 little annual. Per ounce. 50c Pkt. 10c. 



Tom Thumb or Little Gem Sweet Alyssum. This is 

 one of the finest plants for edgings and low beds, flowering 

 in unparalleled profusion for months. 'A foot. (See cut.) Per 

 ounce, 30c Pkt. 5c. 



"ST. BRIGID" ANEMONES. 



These beautiful Irish Poppy-flowered varieties produce in 

 abundance large, single, semi-double and double flowers 3 

 to 5 inches across, of an endless variety of colors, from 

 maroon and brightest scarlet to flesh-pink, and from lilac to 

 purple. Some are mottled, striped, ringed, etc. For cut- 

 ting they are unsurpassed, and in the garden they flower 

 until after frost Pkt. 10c.

New, Large-Flowering tlijbrids. 



The flowers of this new strain are greatly 

 enlarged. and the range of colors and shades 

 has been increased. They, of course are 

 hardy perennials, luxuriating in the moister 

 situations in the garden, where they form per- 

 manent clumps, growing from l 1 ; to 2 feet 

 high. The large, unique, long-spurred flow- 

 ers, gracefully hung on long stems, are not 

 onlv brilliantly effective on the plant, but 

 equally as desirable when cut for vase and 

 house decoration.
