ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) [hA] Modem snapdragons 

 are justly popular with almost all gardeners; they come in 

 such a wide range of colors from delicate pastels to vivid 

 hues, and they are adapted to so many situations in the 

 garden. The spikes are borne well above the dark foliage, 

 and each flower is amusingly like a lion's head with mouth 

 that opens and closes. The blooming season is long if the 

 spikes are nipped off as they fade. 



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

 the winters are severe, gardeners who want early flowers 

 should start the seed quite early under glass, transplanting 

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



Tall Maximum [3 ft.] This wonderful group produces 

 huge spikes with large individual blooms. Because of 

 their height they require staking and belong in the back- 

 ground of a border. Specimen spikes make magnificent 

 cut flowers.

Intermediate Majus [2 ft.] This class furnishes graceful

 length. The spikes while well above the fohage do not tend 

 to be quite so spindly as the taller sorts.

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

 ding as the plants 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 Maxi- 

 mum group. When cut, the flowers look best in low bowls.

 Aquilegia (See Columbine) 



ARABIS (Rock Cress) [hP-R-6 in.] This dwarf perennial is 

 one of the showiest and earliest of spring flowering plants. 

 With its blanket of pure white flowers it will brighten the 

 edge of any border or a sunny spot in the rock garden. 

 It is easy to grow and very hardy.

ARCTOTIS (African Daisy, blue eyed) [hA-2 ft.] An orna- 

 ment in any garden is this sun loving bush plant from 

 South Africa. In bouquets the large flowers on their long 

 bending stems last well, and the buds open after they are 

 cut. The petals are white with light lilac backs, and 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 they retain their color throughout the 

 season. The brownish pipe-shaped flowers are oddly in- 

 teresting. The seed germinates very slowly.

ARMERIA (Thrift, Sea Pink) [hP-R-6 in.] A pretty border 

 or rock garden plant that does well even in rather poor 

 sandy soil. The grass-like foliage is bright green and grows 

 in a tuft. Above its base numerous stiff stems carry little 

 globes of rose-pink flowers which bloom intermittently for 

 a long season.

 prefer a well drained soil in a sunny situation. ^'^' ~
