Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) 



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

 distinct types, the large-flowering, tali-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. Illustrated in colors on the plate facing page 52.

Dreer's Large Flowering Antirrhinums 



Arctotis Grandis 



AnthemiS (Hardy Marguerite) 



PER PKT. 



1150 Kelwayi. A most satisfactory hardy perennial, bearing all sum- 

 mer daisy-like golden-yellow blossoms; excellent for cutting; 2 feet.$0 10 



Arabis (Rock Cress) 



1211 Alpina. A hardy perennial and one of the earliest and prettiest 

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

 white flowers as soon as the snow disappears. Unequalled for rock- 

 eries or edging; withstands the drought and is always neat; 6 to 9 

 inches. Illustrated on page 66. \ oz., 25 cts 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 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.
