New Dwarf Everblooming Sweet-Scented Snapdragons. 



Never to ray knowledge has so great an advance in 

 floriculture ever been made as by the introduction of 

 these new Snapdragons. The finer Sweet Peas of to- 

 day are indeed beautiful and valuable flowers, but in 

 ray estiraation, they by no raeans equal these Snap- 

 dragons; either in beauty or usefulness. They are of a 

 wide range of color, from pure snowy white to deep 

 garnet, with intermediate shades of scarlet, pink and 

 blush — some being exquisitely striped and blended 

 with two or raore colors. Best of all, the colors in all 

 cases are clear, strong antl pure. The individual 

 flowers are beautiful, unique and interesting in struc- 

 ture and are large in size (forra and size correctly 

 shown on next page) are produced on well filled spikes, 

 a foot in length, and are vei-y lasting, either cut or 

 upon the plant; rendering them of the greatest value 

 for cutting. In fragrance they are sweet, slightly 

 aromatic and pleasantr — a perfume unlike that of any 

 other flower: much more decided and lasting than 

 Sweet Peas and approaching Mignonette, yet their 

 fragrance is not at all overpoweriug or objectionable in 

 any way — as is unfortunately the case with a number 

 of our sweet-scented flowers. Best of all they are of 

 the easiest culture; requiring much less care or skill to 

 succeed with them than with Sweet Peas, Asters or 

 Pansies; and the plants begin blooming when only a 

 few inches high, and continue in the greatest profusion 

 throughout the entire summer and autumn, until the 

 ground freezes at the approach of winter ; when th'^y can 

 be lifted, potted and brought indoors for winter bloom — 

 A' continuing to flower as they will until spring. The 



' "~ habit of the plant is correctly' shown in the above 



illustration, beiag dwarf and exceedingly fj-ee-flowering and they are extremely rugged and hardy, enduring 

 extremes of heat and cold, excessive rains and protracted drought with impunity. The foliage is small, light 

 green and attractive; always clean and bright and is never attacked by insects or disease.
