DREER'S 

 GIANT SNAPDRAGONS. 



(Antirrliinum majus grandiflorum.) 



Whether to be grown for cutting or for show in the 

 garden, the Snapdragons are one of the most valuai)le flow- 

 ers, which can readily be grown from seed. They may be 

 sown indoors or in a frame in early spring and transferred 

 to their flowering quarters in May, or they may be sown 

 right out of doors from the middle of April till the middle 

 of June. In either case they quickly come into flower, and 

 remain in constant bloom until long after the first frost. 

 They are also grown quite extensively for winter and spring 

 flowering indoors. 



Dreer's Royal Exhibition Pansies. 



3510 This is our finest mixture of Pansies, and represents the result 

 of years of careful experimenting to produce a blend of well-balanced 

 colorings tliat would meet the approval of the most critical enthusiast. 

 Our color plate opposite gives but a suggestion of the riot of colors 

 which are to be found in this mixture. The Seed has been saved for us 

 by the world's most famous Pansy si>ecialist, and cannot fail to give 

 entire satisfaction. 



Fur sunimer-tlowering the best plan is to sow the Seed in spring right 

 out of doors, as soon as the ground is in good working condition, which 

 is generally between the middle of April and the middle of May. 

 Sown then ihey come into bloom early in July, continuing without in- 

 terruption until hard frost. P'or spring blooming they should be sown 

 from August to October, and given some protection through the winter.
