Dreer's Superb Antirrhinums, or Snapdragons. 



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 ofler two 

 distinct types, the large-flowering, tall-growing, or giant, and the equally large-flowered, balf-dwarf variety, both of which are 

 described below. In our trial grounds the past two seasons we tested over fifty varieties, with a view to selecting the best of each 

 type to offer this season. The seed was sown out of doors the first week of May, and the plants 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. 



DRBKR'S GIAIVT SNAPDRAGONS 



(Antirrhinuni Majus Grandiflorum. / 



This strain is a great improvement over the old tall-growing 

 variety, being of stronger habit and producing longer spikes and 

 much larger individual flowers; grows about 3 feet high and 

 exceedingly valuable for cutting. It may be also used in beds 

 or the mixed border with fine effect.

DRBER'S LARGE-FLOWERING 

 HALF-DWARF SNAPDRAGONS. 



(Antirrhinum Majus Nanum Grandiflorum.) 



This type, while not having the magnificent long spikes of the 

 giant sorts; has spikes and flowers of good size, and, owing to 

 their dwarf and compact habit of growth, are better adapted for 

 bedding purposes. They grow about 18 inches high, and the 

 mass of bloom which they produce from early until late in the 

 season is really phenomenal. Shown on plate opposite.

THE CELEBRATED ASTERMUMS. 



A strain of Giant Comet Asters which, on account of their immense size and Chrysanthemum-like appearance, have appropri- 

 ately been named Astermums. They were first exhibited at the Convention of American Florists in 1912 and attracted great 

 attention. We secured our stock seed from the introducer and have had it grown under our own supervision, and believe the 

 quality we now offer to be better than originally sent out. The jilants grow aliout two feet high with long strong stems, and with us 

 came into bloom about the middle of August, or a little earlier than Crego's Giant type. Few of the flowers run under five inches 

 across. We offer three fine colors, as under: ' 





1261 Lavender. A rich shade of deep lavender or light violet. 



1262 Pink. A very attractive shade of lively rose-pink. 

 Purest snow-white. 

 15 cts. per packet; a packet of each color for 35 cts.
