Exquisite Colors 



ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) [hA] Modern Snapdragons 

 come in a wide range of colors from delicate pastels to 

 vivid hues. 



Seed may be sown outdoors in fall or spring. Where 

 winters are severe, gardeners who want early flowers should 

 start the seed under glass in spring, transplanting to a 

 sunny situation as soon as the ground is warm.

ARCTOTIS (Blue-Eyed African Daisy) [hA-2 ft] / . 



This sun loving plant from South Africa is better 

 suited to American conditions than any other 

 African daisy. It stands dry weather unusually 

 well. The petals are white with light lilac backs; 

 they radiate from a contrasting steel blue center 

 ringed with yellow.

 or rock garden plant that does well even in rather poor 

 sandy soil. The grass-like foliage is bright green and grows 

 in a tuft. Above its base numerous stiff stems carry little 

 globes of rose-pink flowers which bloom intermittently for a 

 long season.

ASCLEPIAS (Butterfly Wild Flower) [hP-2ft.] This is among

 flowers, borne in clusters, are gorgeous orange and make 

 graceful bouquets. The plant seems to prefer a well drained 

 soil in a sunny situation.

 larly useful as soft backgrounds for floral baskets and bou- 

 quets and are much used by florists. Seeds start slowly and 

 should be soaked in warm water before planting.

 with graceful drooping branches. It is beautiful as a 

 house plant.

 ity and delicate foliage.
