HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS AND FLORISTS 



ANTIRRHINUM, HENDERSON'S NEW GIANT 



(Antirrhinum Maximum Giganteum) 



For a number of years, we have offered an excellent strain of Snapdragons known as Antirrhinum 

 majus grandiflorum. This strain on account of its large flowers produced on long spikes, and in a 

 charming array of colors was in a great measure instrumental in elevating the Snapdragons into popular 

 favor. 



This year we have pleasure in offering a new type of Snapdragons that represent the ultimate advance- 

 ment of this beautiful flower, namely, the Antirrhinum Maximum Giganteum. The flowers of this type 

 average about twice the size of those previously offered, and under favorable conditions will produce 

 well set spikes of flowers about two feet long.
