Superb New Antirrhinums or Snapdragons 
Snapdragons are among the most popular flowers 
grown in California. In the last few years great advance- 
ment has been made in the development of these lovely 
flowers, both increasing the size of the blossoms and add- 
ing many new and delicate shades. The intermediate or 
semi-dwarf varieties grow from 15 to 24 inches high and 
are the most desirable for bedding. The tall varieties 
grow from 24 to 30 inches high and on account of their 
long stems are particularly valuable for cut flowers. Be- 
low I am offering a large assortment of the very best 
varieties of recent introduction.

Anchusa italica, Dropmore 
This beautiful perennial plant is of recent introduction 
and should be planted in every garden. The plants grow 
4 to 5 feet high and are remarkable for their free and 
continuous blooming. The flowers, which are produced 
in long spikes, are of a rich gentian-blue shade. Pkt., 15c. 
Long Spurred Hybrid Aquilegias 
A magnificent strain of hybrid Columbines producing 
an abundance of very large flowers, with long spurs and 
borne on tall, graceful stems. The colors range in all 
shades of blue, lavender, mauve, yellow, orange, scarlet 
rose-pink and white. Pkt., 15c. 
Mew Aster, American Beauty 
This grand new Aster is one of the most valuable in- 
troductions of recent years and is quite distinct from any 
other variety. It is similar in growth to the Late Branch- 
ing Aster but differs in that the blossoms are produced 
on longer and heavier stems. Some of these stems will 
measure over 2 feet in length. The flowers are produced 
in succession over a long period, thev are very large, 
perfectly double and especially valuable for cutting 
purposes. In four colors: Carmine rose, pale pink, lav- 
ender, purple, or mixed. Each per pkt. 25c; Vs oz. 50c. 
Payne's Giant Branching Comet, or 
Ostrich Plume Aster 
This magnificent strain is without doubt the best of 
the late flowering asters for our climate. They grow 
from 2 to 2% feet high, and form strong, much-branched 
bushy plants. The flowers are produced in large quan- 
tities, on long wiry stems, and are of immense size, often 
four or five inches across; they are of the most perfect 
form, with long, broad and curled petals. For cutting 
purposes this strain has no equal. I offer them in 8 
different colors: White, shell pink, lavender pink, rose, 
crimson, lavender, dark blue, royal purple, or mixed. 
Each per pkt. 15c, % 'oz. 35c.

ibove S colors, 
Bidens dahlioides 
A hardy perennial producing large quantities of single. 
Cosmos-like flowers of a beautiful light pink shade. The 
flowers keep well in water and are excellent for cutting 
purposes. If the seed is sown in February or early part 
of March the plants will flower the first season. Pkt., 25c. 
Cardinal Climber 
A new and absolutely distinct annual climber, being 
the result of a cross between Ipomcea quamoclit, "Cypress 
Vine," and Ipomcea coccinea. I consider this the most 
brilliant and beautiful annual vine ever introduced. It 
will no doubt attract universal attention, not only for 
the beauty and number of its bright, cardinal-red flow- 
ers, but for its hardiness, its quick growth, reaching a 
height of 20 to 25 feet in a short time, and also for its 
rich green, laciniated foliage, which resembles that of a 
fine Japanese Maple. The flowers, which are about 1% 
inches in diameter, the tube being about lVi inches In 
length, are borne in clusters of from 5 to 7, and their 
vivid cardinal-red color against the abundant dark green 
foliage is most effective. This vine thrives best in a 
good soil and a warm, sunny situation. Sow the seed 
in the open ground as soon as the weather is warm and 
settled. Pkt., 15c.
