TWO NEW SNAPDRAGONS. 



FLAMINGO (Antirrhinum Nanum Grandiflorum) — A beautiful new Snapdragon of the half dwarf, 

 large-flowering type. Flowers deep terra cotta with orange-yellow center and white throat, a delight- 

 ful combination. The plant possesses a strong, sturdy habit of growth, and the flowers are delight- 

 fully fragrant. Pkt. 25c. 



FELTHAM BEAUTY (Antirrhinum Majus Grandiflorum) — This enormous-flowered new variety, 

 of the Giant class, is claimed by the introducer as producing a greater quantity of bloom and larger 

 flowers than any snapdragon so far brought to the attention of the horticultural world. The color 

 also is fine, being a deep rose pink charmingly emphasized by a pure white center. Pkt. 20c. 



TEREMURUS, Gold Medal Hybrids — Eremurus or Hardy Foxtail Lilies are becoming known 

 as among the most desirable and stately plants for the hardy perennial border. The flowers 

 in long terminal racemes are produced in early summer, when established plants, rearing many- 



' colored flower-stalks 6 to 10 feet above the ground, surmounted by spikes of flowers sometimes 

 4 feet in length, afford a most striking spectacle. They remain in bloom for a month. Hy- 

 bridizing covering a period of 20 years has resulted in producing many new color forms, perfectly 

 hardy and thriving best in full sunshine and good, medium heavy soil. Once established will 



/go on for years improving and increasing. The seedlings when large enough should be planted 

 where they can remain permanently undisturbed. Pkt. 25c. 



>GEUM COCCINEUM, Mrs. Bradshaw — A fine hardy border plant, producing large, double 

 brilliant scralet flowers, appearing early in the summer and continuing into the fall. Very 

 desirable. Height 1 >2 feet. Pkt. 15c. 



NEW GLADIOLUS "JUNE" — This new variety produces one of the finest formed spikes of 

 any variety we know of. The color is white with a mottling of pink and varies more or less 



in every spike, but always in a most 

 pleasing way. See illustration on page 80. 

 Prices of bulbs as follows: Each 25c; 

 per doz. $2.75; per 100, $18.00. 



OENOTHERA RUBRICALYX — Evening 



Primrose, "California." A new form 

 from the grounds of the University of 

 California, which differs from other Even- 

 ing Primroses in having striking dark red 

 buds, contrasting beautifully with the 

 bright yellow petals. The top of the stem 

 is also red, giving the plant a remarkably 

 ornate appearance in the garden. Pkt. 15c. 



SALVIA, OSTRICH PLUME— Ostrich 

 Plume, as its name'implies, bears immense 

 plume-like spikes or heads often six inches 

 through, the individual flowers nearly 

 double the usual size. Pkt. 15c.
