AMMOBIUM ALATUM 



1079 Valuable white Everlasting. The fully expanded flower has a yellow center. If 

 sown in April or May and treated as a hardy annualthe plants bloom freely the 

 same year. Height 2H feet. {For other varieties of "Everlastings", see page 105) 



Pkt. 10c. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII "Boston" or "Japan Ivy" 



1082 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 stones, brick 

 or wood work with the greatest tenacity. It is a great protection to walls, etc., 

 as the leaves lapping over each other, shed rain. 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 Pkt. 10c. 



ANCHUSA ITALICA 



1087 "Dropmore" variety. A fine, large, hardy, herbaceous plant; 4 to 5 feet high. 

 This new "Dropmore" variety is a great improvement on the type, the beautiful 

 Forget-Me-Not-like flowers being much larger than others and of a lovely Gentian 

 blue, produced in long, loose sprays. Invaluable for the hardy border, as flowers 

 are produced during the entire season and until late in the fall Pkt. 15c. 



ANEMONE 



1092 St. Brigid. These beautiful Irish Poppy-flowered varieties are hardy perennials 

 flowering from seed the second year and thereafter. Produce in abundance large 

 single, semi-double and double flowers 3 to 5 inches across, in an endless variety of 

 colors, from maroon and brightest scarlet to flesh-pink and from lilac to purple. 

 Some are mottled, striped, ringed, etc. For cutting they are unsurpassed and in 

 the garden they flower until after frost; Anemone seed should be gently rubbed 

 with sand or fine, friable soil, and both seed and soil may be thinly sown over the 

 bed, which, as a finish, should be lightly beaten with the back of a spade. The 

 situation must be shaded from direct sunshine, and frequent watering will be 

 necessary. From seed sown in January or February under glass the plants should 

 begin to bloom in September or October of the same year, and continue to flower 

 until the following June. Seed may also be sown in June. or July for plants to 

 bloom in the succeeding year. (See engraving.) Pkt. 15c. 



ANTIRRHINUM, DOUBLE FLOWERING TRICOLOR 



1102 The plants bear long spikes of large purple-red, light yellow and white flowers; 

 between the upper and lower lips, fantastic petals emerge which give a double 

 aspect to the flowers. About 50 per cent, will come true— the balance being large- 

 flowering singles Pkt. 15c. 



ANTIRRHINUM SEMI-DWARF LARGE-FLOWERING 



_ A beautiful class extensively used in Europe for bedding. These semi-dwarf varie- 

 ties produce flowers as large as the tall sorts, while the plants are of compact, bushy 

 growth, only a foot high, and are completely enveloped with flowers throughout summer 

 and fall.

ANTIRRHINUM 



or Snapdragon 

 HENDERSON'S ALL GIANT FLOWERING 



These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by 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 improvements which have 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 siae of the older sorts. An effective bed may be formed by plant- 

 ing 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. Pinch- 

 ing out the tops — although it delays the beginning of flowering — forces the plants to 

 branch low and ultimately gives better results. {See engraving.)
