ANTIRRHINUM Snapdragon). 



Within the last few years Snapdragons have become immensely popular. This 

 is not to be wondered at, as, whether used for cutting or for show in the garden, 

 they are one of the most valuable flowers which can readily be grown from seed. 

 We oflTer two distinct types, the large-flowering, tall-growing, or giant, and the 

 equally large flowered, half-dwarf variety. In our trials the seed sown out of 

 doors the first week of May came into bloom early in July, remaining in full 

 flower until November. For earlier flowering, they may be started indoors or 

 in a frame in March, transplanting them to the open when the weather is suitable.

Argemone Hvbrida Grandiflora.

(Mexican or Prickly Poppy.) 



1220 Hybrida Grandiflora. We were delighted with a trial of this 

 in our experimental grounds. The plants grew into sturdy bushes about 

 3 feet high, with very ornamental pale green, spiny foliage, with clear, 

 silvery midrib and veins and poppy-like flowers of satiny texture, over 3 

 inches across, in various shades from rich yellow to creamy white. It 

 came into bloom early in July, and continued without interruption till 

 November. It is best to sow the seed where they are intended to bloom 

 as soon as the ground is warm, and should have a sunny location, and 

 prefers light soil. A very pretty and ornamental plant in or out of 

 bloom. 2 pkts., 25 cts 15
