HENDERSON'S 



GIANT 

 FLOWERING 



Antirrhinums or Snapdragons 



These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by popular favor from the plebeian 

 "Snapdragon" rank of common flowers to a higher level. This marked change in the general 

 estimation is the direct result of the evolutionary improvement for the past few years that has 

 made the Giant Flowering Antirrhinum race so highly satisfactory for gardens, 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 immense and durable pure colored flowers, either rich and brilliant or soft and dainty, 

 as may be selected. Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and independence of 

 heat and drought, and pure, bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. 

 Although perennials in the South they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; 

 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 very beautiful — although 

 even a "Mixed" bed is a feast for the eyes; the plants should 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.

VEITCHII •^ s a t p a n „ , ,7 y '-- <>r 



A valuable climber. Entirely 

 hardy in the most exposed places, 

 often attaining a height of 20 to 

 30 feet in two or three years from 

 seed, clinging to stcmes, brick or 

 wood work with the greatest 

 tenacity. It is a great protection 

 to walls, etc., as the leaves, 

 lapping over each other, shed 

 ram. For covering dead trees, 

 gate posts, boundary walls, etc., 

 it has no equal. In the summer 

 the foliage is a rich shade of green, 

 but in the fall it assumes the most 

 gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson 

 and orange.
