GIANT 
ANTIRRHINUM 
OR SNAPDRAGON 
LTHOUGH PERENNIALS these 
do excellently as annuals, 
bearing flowers in July from 
spring sown seed. The strain we 
offer is a great improvement over the 
old "Snapdragon." The blossoms are 
nearly double the size of the older sorts 
and range in color from the richest crimson 
velvet and yellow and orange shades to the 
most exquisite cerise, port wine, and rose colors. 
They are durable through all kinds of weather, 
and the plants are stocky and strong, from 2 to 3 
feet high, and blossom continuously throughout the 
summer. They are among the most beautiful flowers 
of the garden and we urge those who are familiar only with 
the old fashioned sorts to try our new strain if they wish to 
iiave flowers that are exquisite as well as gorgeous.
