ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) [hA] The modern Snap- 

 dragon is justly popular with every type of gardener. Few 

 flowers can match its vast range of coloring from delicate 

 pastel shades to glorious vivid tones. The handsome spikes 

 of curiously shaped tubular flowers with spreading lobes 

 and finely marked throats are fragrant and borne well 

 above the dark foliage. They have a long blooming season 

 if the spikes are nipped off as they pass. 



The seed may be sown in the fall or spring but where 

 the winters are severe the gardener who wants early flowers 

 should start the seed quite early under glass and transplant 

 to a sunny situation as soon as the ground is warm. 



Tall Maximum [3 ft.] This wonderful group produces 

 huge spikes with very large individual blooms. Because of 

 their height they require staking and belong in the back- 

 ground of a border. Specimen spikes are magnificent cut 

 flowers.

Giant Bedding [18 in.] This type is unsurpassed for bed- 

 ding as the plants are bushy and require no support. 

 Though the stems are relatively short the spikes are very 

 handsome and the Majestic strains bear blossoms equal 

 in size to the Maximum group. For small vases the flowers 

 are most desirable.

 perennial is one of the showiest and earliest of our spring- 

 flowering plants. It is very useful for edgings and in the 

 sunny rock garden, where its dense blanket of pure white 

 flowers brightens its surroundings. Very easy to grow.

ARCTOTIS (African Daisy, blue eyed) [hA-2 ft.] A South 

 African, sun-loving bush daisy of such merit it is an orna- 

 ment in any garden. The large flowers, borne on fine 

 stems, make splendid bouquets which last well. The upper 

 surface of the petals is white backed with light lilac. 

 They radiate from a contrasting steel blue center ringed 

 with yellow.

ARISTOLOCHIA (Dutchman's Pipe) [hP-C-30 ft.] This lux- 

 uriant vine is one of our best climbing plants. Its light green 

 but glossy heart-shaped leaves overlap each other to form an 

 excellent screen and retain their color throughout the season. 

 The brownish pipe-shaped flowers are curious but of little 

 merit. The seed germinates very slowly.

 mittently for a long season.
