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 seed sown out of doors the 

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

 flower until November. For earUer flowering they may 

 be started indoors or in a frame in March, transplanting 

 them to the open when the weather is suitable. f"-

AxTiRRHixuM, The Fawn 



Dreer's Lonospurred Aquilegia or Columbine 



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, and now offered 

 for the first time. 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 introduced. 25 cts. per pkt. 



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

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

 cut flower. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



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 resiflts. 

 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for SI. 00. 



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 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.
