CANNELLS’ PRIZE MEDAL 
EYNSFORD PIGMY ANTIRRHINUMS. 
AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE R H.S. 
For years we have been selecting our well-known and richly-varied 
itrain of Dwarf Antirrhinums until we have succeeded in obtaining 
m08t satisfactory results. They possess a considerable value for beds and 
borders as their free branching habit enables them to continue in bloom for 
, much' longer period than the taller kinds, which produce a comparatively 
small number of spikes, and, moreover, the lower part of the older spikes 
rre so hidden by those of later development that the seed pods resulting from 
the earlier flowers, which are so unsightly in the case of the tall strains, are 
not aeon. We have a very fine strain about six inches in height, and 
furnished with large numbers of spikes bearing flowers distinguished by 
their large size and effective colouring.

CANNELLS’ SELECTED COCKSPUR AQUILEGIAS. 
Per pkt.— 
Aquilegia, Columbine — Long-Spurred Hybrids — 
It is scarcely possible to lavish too much praise upon this 
graceful and elegant family of plants, being most beautiful 
in habit of growth, colours, and form of flowers. After 
several years’ careful selecting and re-selecting, we have 
obtained a splendid strain, which we now offer to all 
admirers of this graceful and delightful flower. Amongst 
these hybrids will be found many novel combinations of 
pleasing shades of colour. They prefer a moist and sheltered 
position, with as much exposure to the sun as possible; of 
robust habit and perfectly hardy, flowering most profusely 
during May and June; admirably adapted for cutting 
purposes and the home decorations ; highly recommended 
for table decorations, hp. *»“• &
