Antirrhinum 



or Snapdragon 



HENDERSON'S 



TALL GIANT FLOWERING 



These modern hybrid Antirrhinums h.Tve been ele- 

 vated bv popular favor from the "Snapdragon" rank of 

 common flowers to a higher level. This marked change 

 in the general estimation is the direct result of the im- 

 provements which have made the Giant Flowermg 

 Antirrhinum race so highly satisfactory for garrleiib, 

 bedding, borders, pot culture, for house decoration 

 forcing for winter cut flowers, etc. The plants are of 

 healthy robust growth, with deep green foliage, free and 

 continuous blooming, producing long, graceful spikes of 

 inunense and durable pure colored flowers, either rich 

 and briUiant or soft and dainty, as may be selected. 

 Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and 

 injependence of heat and drought, and pure, bright 

 colors, should entitle them to a permanent place m 

 gardens. Although perennials in the South, tliey do 

 splendidl.v when grown as annuals in the Nortli ; spring- 

 sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which 

 continue to bloom in increasing profusion until frost. 

 The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. 

 An effective bed may be formed by planting the center 

 with the tall varieties and the outer rows with the semi- 

 dwarf; planted in a combination of separate colors the 

 effect is ver\ beautiful — although even a "Mixed" bed 

 is a feast for the eyes; the p'ants shou'd be placed 

 9 inches apart each way. Pinching out the tops — 

 although it delays the beginning of flowering — forces 

 the plants to branch low and ultimately gives better 

 results. (See colored plate.)
