Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) 



One of the most valuable flowers which can readily be grown from seed. We offer three 

 distinct types, the large-flowering, tall-growing or giant, the equally large-flowered, half 

 dwarf variety, and the new maximum 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. 

 We have made exhaustive tests of scores of varieties, and offer the following as being the 

 best in their respective colors.

 spring flowers. The spreading tufts are covered with a sheet of pure 

 white flowers as soon as the snow disappears. Unequalled for 

 rockeries or edging; withstands the drought and is always neat; 6 

 to 9 inches, i oz., 30 cts $0 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 

 2i 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. Illustrated in colors on plate facing page 56.
