Henderson's "Mount Vernon" ANTIRRHINUM or Snapdragon 



Collection of Six Giant Snapdragons forcing varieties s F eciai Greenhouse 



A Great Advance on Old Varieties 



The efforts of a number of plant hybridizers, for almost a quarter of a century, 

 have been rewarded with wonderful results in the development of the Antirrhinum 

 or Snapdragon. 



We now offer a new type of Snapdragon that represents the great advance- 

 ment of this beautiful flower in our Mount Vernon Collection. The flowers of 

 this type average abcut twice the size of those previously offered, and under 

 favorable conditions will produce well set spikes of flowers about two feet long. 

 Although perennials in the South, they do splendidly when grown as annuals 

 in the North; spring sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which con- 

 tinue to bloom in increasing profusion until frost.

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. 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 



1146A Apple Blossom. 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. 



1146B Buttercup. 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 delightful two-tone effect. 



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

 early flowering and exceedingly florifercus, throwing from six to eight 

 spikes to a plant. 



1149 University of California Mixture. We are able to offer a most excel- 

 lent mixture similar to the Majus Type containing a wonderful range of 

 the popular colors.

DWARF HYACINTH FLOWERED (Annual) 



Antirrhinums have been more rapidly improved than any other garden flower, 

 and are grown everywhere. The Hyacinth flowered are a great improvement 

 over the ordinary dwarf sorts. The great size and perfect form of the individual 

 bloom combined with ideal symmetry of the spike are its main characteristics. 

 A beautiful variety for beds or borders, height 1 foot. Seed is sown in the open 

 ground in May to flower in July, but a better way is to start seeds indoors in 

 March and transplant outdoors when ready.
