ANTHEMIS (Hardy Marguerite) 



1150 Kelwayi. A most satisfactory hardy perennial, bearing 

 all summer daisy-like golden-yellow blossoms; excellent 

 for cutting; 2 feet 



ARCTOTIS (African Daisy) 



1216 Grandis. 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 placet! in a sunny window every one will open and 

 produce as fine flowers as though left on the plant. \ oz., 30 cts. . .

Dreer's Antirrhinums 



Arctotis Grandis 



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 firsc 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.
