NEW RUST PROOF 

 ANTIRRHINUM 



In some sections of the country 

 Antirrhinunt 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 mag- 

 nificent Rust Proof Antirrhinum of 

 the Maximum type, with huge in- 

 dividual 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. 

 The combination of fiery crimson 

 flowers, dark green foliage and dark 

 plum colored stems makes a blend 

 of color shades quite out of the ordi- 

 nary and most attractive. Pkt. 50c 



BEGONIA "Elegant" 



Semperflorens Marginata 



1519 This variety ig 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 con- 

 trast to the attractive color of the 

 blooms. (See illustration.)
