NEW RUST PROOF ANTIRRHINUM 



In some sections of the country Antirrhinum cannot be grown on account of 

 the rust which attacks the foliage. By planting these new rust proof varieties 

 success may now be attained. 



1146 Maximum Crimson. A magnificent Rust proof Antirrhinum of the Maximum 

 type, with huge individual flowers and flower spikes. The color is pure crimson 

 overlaying a ground of orange and gives the effect of a fiery crimson. The foliage 

 and the stem is dark plum color Pkt. 25c 



1146A Apple Blossom. The blossoms are huge and are gracefully spaced on long 

 non-lateral stems, making spikes of exceptional length. The color is rosy-pink with 

 white tubes. The broad foliage is bright green and the plants are base branching, 

 having from 8 to 15 spikes to a plant. Pkt. 25c 



1146B Buttercup. A new color, in Antirrhinums which has not heretofore been avail- 

 able in pure cultures. The deep canary yellow on the lip and the base of the stand- 

 ard, blending to a pale creamy yellow towards the margin, gives the flower a de- 

 lightful two-tone effect ' Pkt. 25c 



1147 Shasta. A pure white Rust Proof Antirrhinum. This fine sort is very early flower- 

 ing and exceedingly floriferous, throwing from six to eight spikes to a plant. It has 

 a very distinct base branching habit Pkt. 25c 



1149 University of California Mixture. We are able to offer a most excellent mixture 

 of Rust Proof Antirrhinums similar to the Majus Type containing a wonderful 

 range of the popular colors. (See illustration.) Pkt. 25c 



BEGONIA "Elegant" 



Semperflorens Marginata 



1519 This variety is white with a vivid edging of crimson, a combination most charming. 



As a pot plant one can hardly imagine anything more exquisite. It is also very 



desirable for bedding purposes and has been tried out with great success in large 



public gardens. 



The plant is of bushy habit, very floriferous. The foliage is fresh green which 



forms a lively contrast to the attractive color of the blooms. (See illustration.) Put. 35c 



CHORIZANTHE PALMERI 



Turkish Rugging (Annual)

garden. This easily grown annual forms n 



a dense mat of statice like flowers of a ^"^^ ^■JpSS^iiii 



delicate pink which blends beautifully HSS3Cf4| 



with the dull green foliage. In early | 

 fall, the plant changes to a charming jM £&$&]&£' 



shade of autumn brown, which makes a 1 j*Jwr - 



bold showing. It grows about 8 inches : .'8jjpP "^/>f

STATICE 



Puberula (Annual) 



3691 







Chorizanthe 



This is a very desirable and long-lasting 

 pot plant for summer and late autumn. 

 Statice Puberula flowers five months after 

 sowing, grows only 4 to 6 inches high and 

 forms large magnificent dark violet blooms. 

 It can be used for pots and in the open, also 

 in rock gardens. A soil composed of turfy 

 loam mixed with peat and plenty of sand 

 is the most suitable. The plants can be 

 kept over the winter in a greenhouse, 

 or window box in a dwelling. (See 

 illustration.) Pkt. 25o 



NIEREMBERGIA (Annual) 



Hippomanica 



3054 We can cordially recommend this beau- 

 tiful little Solanaceous plant as an 

 admirable subject for greenhouse deco- 

 ration. Not more than 4 to 6 inches 

 high, it forms a cushion of elegant light 

 green foliage from which emerge 

 corymbs of salver-shaped flowers of a 

 delicate lavender hue, 1 to 1 J^-inches 

 across, adorned with a clear yellow eye. 

 Of highly ornamental effect, we are sure 

 that it will prove a gem for the con- 

 servatory, and in suitable situations 

 should do well in the open air. We may 

 add that the bloom is very profuse and 

 of a long-lasting character. (See illus- 

 tration.) Pkt. 50c 



TITHONIA 



Early Flowering Strain (Annual) 



4476A Flowers ten days earlier than the regular 

 strain. Tall-growing plants with rich 

 single orange-scarlet flowers of a very 

 telling color. Succeeds well as an annual if 

 seed is sown in February or March, so as 

 to have plants for planting out in 

 May, invaluable for clumps in the tall 

 border. Height, 4 feet. (See illustration.)
