ANEMONE CWindflower) 

 A very pleasing perennial, producing large flowers; few plants compare with them 

 in beauty; fine for bouquets. Sow outdoors in spring; keeping shaded till the plants 

 appear.

 1146 St. Brigid. A beautiful selection of the above. Our 

 seed comes from a famous Irish grower and comprises 

 semi-double and double flowers in a wonderful array 

 of colors. 2 pkts., 25 cts 15 



ANTHEMIS (Hardy Marguerite) 

 1150 Kelwayi. A most satisfactory hardy perennial, bear- 

 ing all summer daisy-like golden-yellow blossoms; ex- 

 cellent for cutting; 2 feet 10 



ARCTOTIS (African Daisy) 



1216 Qrandis. A remarkably handsome annual from 

 Southwest Africa. It forms much-branched bushes 

 2 to 3 feet high; its flowers are large and showy, 

 being pure white on the upper surface, the reverse of 

 petals pale lilac-blue. There are few annual flowers 

 grown in the garden more valuable for cut flower work 

 than the Arctotis. It is easily grown from seed, and 

 may be started in hotbed, in the house, or in the 

 open ground, the seed germinating in about five days, 

 and the plants may be expected to come into bloom 

 early in July and continue until quite hard frost. It 

 delights in a sunny situation. As a cut flower it is 

 especially valuable, the blooms lasting a week or ten 

 days in water, and if undeveloped buds are cut and 

 placed in a sunny window every one will open and 

 produce as fine flowers as though left on the plant.

ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) 



Within the last few years Snapdrapons have become immen- 

 sely 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 ofifer 

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

 and the equally large-flowered, half dwarf variety, 

 our trials the seeds 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.
