Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) 



Within the last few years Snapdragons have become immensely ikb , y» 



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- C^- 



flowering, tall-growing or giant, and the equally large-flowered, half ""'ilk 



dwarf 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. For earlier flowering, they may be started indoors or in a ^feW"""'""'?'," ' ' '" j* 



frame in March, transplanting them to the open when the weather is BB M. ■; ' . ^^ 



suitable. We have made exhaustive tests of scores of varieties and offer Hfe.^LBB- ■■iiiiiiiii ii i ib i ■'

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 daj's, and the 



plants may be expected to come into bloom early in July and 



continue until quite hard frost. It delights in asunny 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. J oz., 30 cts.
