ANTIRRHINUM • Snapdragon 



One of the most widely grown and most popular 

 plants for greenhouse flowering or for outside bedding. 

 The new varieties of the last two years have materially 

 increased its value. 



NEW VARIETY 

 Heatherdell. Without question, this new Snapdragon 

 is the finest of its color. Good yellows have been 

 hard to get, but in Heatherdell we have a plant of 

 excellent habit of growth which produces winter 

 bloom, is medium dw-arf. and can be used for outside 

 beading. The supply of plants will be limited and 

 they are for April and later delivery. 2^4 -inch pots. 

 $1.50 per doz., S8 per 100. 



OLDER VARIETIES 



2V4-inch pots, 75 cts. per doz., $6 per 100, $50 per 1,000 



Nelrose. Flowers close together on flower-spike, 

 deep pink in color. A bed of Nelro.se in the open 

 ground should make a very attractive showing. The 

 color is pleasing antl its brightness makes it appeal 

 to the garden lover. Its dwarf, compact habit makes 

 it the choice for outsifle Ijedding. 



Phelps' White. The best white variety for either 

 greenhouse or outdoor growing. The accompanying 

 photograph was taken of this variety in midwinter. 

 It makes long, full, well-formed flower-spikes and is 

 the purest white of any of the so-called white vari- 

 eties, as there is usually a trace of color present. 



Silver-Pink. (Buxton's.) The finest variety for green- 

 house growing. The color is a beautiful shade of 

 light pink. The flower-spikes are of good length, and 

 the growths are straight. Flowers well apart on the 

 stem. 



BEGONIAS 



All Begonias will be shipped in paper pots 

 Mrs. J. A. Peterson. A decided and striking novelty. 

 It is of the Lorraine type but has red foliage. It is 

 a clean, easy grower and produces flowers in pro- 

 fusion; brilliant deep pink in color.

Glory of Cincinnati. This variety is a strong grower, 



with large, heavy foliage. Its flowers are a beautiful 

 shade of pink, and carried well above the foliage. 

 As the foliage is heavy the variety makes pro- 

 portionately less leaves, and since the variety is 

 propagated from leaf-cuttings it will always remain in 

 short supply. May and later delivery. Doz. 100
