ANCHUSA CAPENSIS. 



A hardy annual of more than ordinary beauty. It grows 

 about two feet high, branching freely and bearing a profu- 

 sion of the most lovely flowers, similar in all respects to 

 the Forget-me-not, though the blooms are much larger and 

 of finer color. It is always taken for a beautiful, large-flow- 

 ering Forget-me-not, and for bouquets and cut flowers it is 

 indeed superior to it. Its color is a deep, clear, brilliant blue 

 with a pure white eye ; one of the rarest and most lovely 

 shades of that color. It blooms early and continues all 

 summer. Pkt., 100 seeds, 3 cents.

ANTIRRHINUM, Tom Thumb, (Snapdragon.) 



If those members of the flower-loving fraternity who 

 have failed with houseplants would try the cultivation of 

 some of our hardy out-door flowers as potplants, such as 

 Antirrhinum, they would have little reason to complain of 

 non-success. Many of the so-called annuals will keep up a 

 succession of bloom for one, two and even three seasons 

 with proper care to keep them from ripening seed, and un- 

 der this treatment will bloom much more profusely, and 

 produce much finer blossoms than if grown in the open air 

 in the usual way. Being hardy, they can better endure oc- 

 casional neglect and the dry atmosphere of the house than 

 can more tender plants, and are not so liable to be injured 

 by insects. Tom Thumb is the best of all the Antirrhinums, 

 very dwarf, growing only 8 inches high, thickly studded 

 with beautiful spikes of gay colored flowers, orange, scar- 

 let, rose-white, maroon, striped, etc Pkt., 250 seeds, 3 cts.
