ANTIRRHINUMS AT WISLEY, 1913. 



Two hundred and seven stocks of Antirrhinums were sent to Wisley, 

 all of which — except a few cuttings sent — were sown on March 13, and 

 when large enough to handle were pricked out into boxes, and later 

 on planted out in an open sunny situation on soil moderately 

 manured, and planted in rows 18 inches apart each way. All made 

 excellent growth, flowered profusely through the summer and autumn, 

 and gave a glorious mass of colour, was much admired by visitors. 

 The Committee recommended that the Antirrhinum should be classed 

 as Tall. Medium, and Dwarf or Tom Thumb. It was considered that 

 the term Nunum often used for the Medium section was misleading. 

 The height of the different sections varies a little on different soils. 

 At Wisley the Tall ones are from 30 to 36 inches ; the Med um ones, 

 18 to 22 inches ; the Dwarf or Tom Thumb about 12 inches high. 



The Committee examined the collection on two occasions, and con- 

 sidered those bracketed here to be too much alike to warrant different 

 names:— [12, 68, 80, 9, 10. 77, 197] ; [198, 195. 40, 157. 173, 155, 41, 

 26, 69] ; [29, 106, 87, 30, 28, 59, 60, 104] ; [206, mi, 6, 138, 140, 147] ; 

 [33. 146, 24, 148] ; [133, no, 168, 132, 184, 178, 177] ; [n, 180, 160] ; 

 [66, 120, 47, 50].
