Antirrhinum ^Snap Dragron) — The old-fashioned snap 
I ■■■iBMiii dragon, largely improved by special cul- 
tivation and selection. Sow in open ground in March and April, 
or earlier in boxes. Of easiest culture and well adapted to the 
Central South. If seed is not sown in early spring they will not 
bloom until the second season. They are hardy and will stand 
the winter here if slightly protected. Our seed is from one of 
the most careful flower seed growers, who make a specialty 
of antirrhinums. These are large flowering types and are 
fine for cutting and for beds and backgrounds. They are be- 
coming immensely popular as they are hardy, easily grown, and 
make most beautiful show flowers. Antirrhinum, Finest Mixed 
Colors (No. 723) — Packet, 5 cents. 
THE OLD FASHIONED FLOWER 
Touch-Me-Not or Lady Slipper

until those familiar with the old forms would hardly recognize 
the large waxy flowers with their elegant shades of color and 
variegations as belonging to the same class. They grow luxu- 
riantly all through the South wdth little attention in any good 
garden soil, and well repay one for the little trouble. Sow in
