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, remain- 

 ing 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 veather is suitable. 

 Giant Varieties. Of tall growth, very large individual 



flowers:

ANTHEM IS (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 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 unde- 

 veloped buds are cut and placed in a sunny window 

 every one will open and produce as fine flowers 

 as though left on the plant. J oz., 30 cts 10 



Beautiful beds can be made with Eschscholtzias and Marigolds shown in colors on pages 56 and 57
