FLOWER SEEP SPECIALTIES 



HARDY ASTERS. EOSR 



These "Michaelmas Daisies" are splendid sub- 

 jects for permanent positions in the herbaceous 

 border, where they form large bushy clumps, li 

 to 2 feet high, and are covered with clusters of 

 large single flowers during the late summer 

 months, forming one of the charms of the autumn 

 garden.

immense size Pkt. 15c.

ANTIRRHINUM, 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, render- 

 ing 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. (See cut.)

"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.
