Dreer's Long-Spurred Hybrid 



Aquilegias, or Columbines 



1205 Long-spurred Pink 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 Sl.OO. 



1206 Mixed Long-spurred Hybrids. This is the most admired type 

 of Columbine and our strain has a national reputation for quality. They 

 have been produced from the strains of several famous hybridizers, in- 

 cluding Mrs. Scott-Elliott, and are much superior to the usual grade. 

 The plants are of strong, thrifty gro\vth, 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 e-xactly 

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



Beautiful New Snapdragons 



The two sorts offered below belong to the Large-flowering Half-dwarf section, 

 and are unusually attractive in color. 



1161 Peerless Pink. This is one of our own introductions. The flowers 

 are of immense size, two inches and over across, and the color, an even 

 tone of soft shell-pink, stamps it as the finest pink variety yet intro- 

 duced. 



1168 The Fawn. Soft amber-yellow overlaid with chamois-rose, producing 

 a rose and gold effect that is truly beautiful, either in the garden or as a 

 cut flower. 



Price. Either of the above, 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

Antirrhinum, The F-\wn 



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 offer two distinct types, the large-flowering, 

 tall-growing or giant, and the equally large-flowered, half dwarf 

 variety. In 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. We have made exhaustive tests of scores of varieties and 

 offer the following as being the best in their respective colors.
