New Semi-Dwarf 
ANTIRRHINUMS 
The Antirrhinum now rivals the 
Sweet Pea in popularity and is grown 
extensively under glass as well as for 
bedding out. The graceful spikes are 
excellent for vases and general decor- 
ative purposes. Planted in beds, 
bordeis, or among shrubbery, they 
present a most striking effect. 
The varieties offered below are the 
best and most improved of the largest 
flowering sorts. The blooms are 
double the size of the older kinds. 
These grow about 18 inches high, and 
some prefer these to the giants for 
cutting as they can be used for smaller 
vases.
