RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 



AQUILCGIA (Columbine) 



No hardy plant grown Irom seed is more easily handled than the Columbine. 

 Seed may be sown in the open ground early in spring, and will, in most cases 

 bloom the same season; or ihey may be planted in August or September, and will 

 come up early in spring and make vigorous plants, which will bloom abundantly 

 during late spring and early summer. 



Columbines should be planted wherever their presence will 

 serve to lighten up a too stifif and formal planting, for no other 

 p. art nas so airy a grace as the Columbine, is more generous of 

 its o'ooms, or more effectively adapted for cut flowers.

Dreer's Antirrhinums 



AXTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) 



Within the last few years Snapdragons have become immensely 

 fKjpular. This is not to be wondered at, as, whether used for 

 cutting or for show in the garden, they are one of the most valu- 

 able 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, remaining in full flower until November. For 

 earlier flowering, they may be started indoors or in a frame ia 

 March, transplanting them to the open when the weather is suit- 

 able. 

 Giant Varieties. Of tall growth, very large individual flowers:
