Antirrhinam 



Antirrhinum or Snapdragon 



See full color illustration on front cover. 



"We offer this year a complete new listing of Antirrhinum or 

 Snapdragons, all of which with the exception of the forcing 

 and Tom Thumb varieties are Rust-proof or Rust-resistant. 

 The Giant Colossal type includes colors not offered previously 

 and besides being rust resistant are even finer than they have 

 been in the past. The same holds true for the Half-Dwarf 

 varieties. The Forcing varieties are all standard and especially 

 grown for forcing under glass. Antirrhinum Tom Thumb is an 

 excellent subject for rock garden work. 



Snapdragons are general favorites, bearing long spikes of 

 various colored flowers all summer. The half-dwarf varieties 

 are splendid for low beds or borders, and for window boxes. 

 The tall kinds m.ay be grouped very effectively in the general 

 border and are unexcelled as cut flowers. 



Seed started indoors in February or ilarch will bloom in early 

 July or if started later outdoors will bloom in August. Plants 

 may be wintered in a cold frame for bloom the following year. 



Half-Dwarf Colossal Flowering 



Flowers are almost as large as the Giant Colossal strain 

 and the colors are bright and true. Bushy growth, seldom over 

 15 inches high, and covered with bloom from early summer 

 until late fall. Stems long enough to make cut flowers.
