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 valu 

 able flowers which can readily be grown from seed. We offer 

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

 the equally large-flowered half-dwarf variety. In our trials 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. 

 Large=flowering Half=Dwarf Varieties. A splendid 

 type, growing about 18 inches high, the best for bedding

ANTIRRHINUM LARGE-FLO ^WERING 

 HALF OWARF, THE FAWN 



1168 It is a real pleasure to be able to add this beautiful variety to our list 

 of Snapdragons. The compact, bushy plants, about 18 inches high, 

 are covered with spikes of the unusually large flowers, which are a soft 

 amber-yellow heavily overlaid with Chamois-rose, producing a rose 

 and gold effect that is truly beautiful, either in the garden or when 

 cut. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Dreer's Long-Spurred Hybrid 



AquilegiaS) or Columbines 



1205 Long=spurred Pinic Hybrids. To supply the insistent demand 

 for the pink shades' of the long-spurred Columbines we arranged with 

 two of our growers to save us seed from selected plants, and are again 

 able to offer the same in stock that should produce splendid results. 

 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for $1.00. 



1206 nixed Long=spurred Hybrids. This is the most admired type 

 of Columbine. They have been produced from the strains of several 

 famous hybridizers, including Mrs. Scott-Elliott, and are much superior 

 to the usual grade. The plants are of strong, thrifty growth, and 

 perfectly hardy. The long-spurred flowers of large size vary in color 

 through charming tones of cream, pink, lavender, blue, white, red, 

 etc., hardly any two being exactly alike. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 

 25 cts.
