Snapdragon, 
Hardie’s Superior Flower Seed 
PRODUCE BETTER AND BRIGHTER FLOWERS 
Do you take pride in your home? Even though it be lowly, you can make it a beauty 
spot—a delight to you, your family and all passers-by—with the plantings of Hardie s 
Superior Flower Seeds listed below—all selected from varieties which we know will 
thrive and blossom best in this section. 
Flowers are divided into three classes: Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Annual 
flowers grow from seed, blossom and die in one season. Biennials grow from seed, blos¬ 
som the following season and then die. Perennials make plants from seed the first year, 
blossom the next and continue to bloom each succeeding year. 
CULTURE—A common error in planting flower seeds is covering them too deep; 
they should not be covered more than twice the thickness of the seed; small seed, such 
as Portulaca, need only be pressed down with a board or the hand: always press the soil 
down firmly after sowing, else there is danger of the young plants prying up before their 
roots can get hold of the soil. Flower seeds generally succeed best in rich soil: some 
leaf mould out of the woods is good to put on the beds. All prices quoted on Flower 
Seeds are postpaid. 
Antirrhinum 
(SNAPDRAGON) 
For gorgeous coloring few flowers can 
match Snapdragons. The flowers of this 
new strain are of very large size, are very 
fragrant and are produced on immense long 
spikes, which render them extremely well 
adapted for cut flowers. They are easily 
raised from seed in any rich, sunny bed. If 
intended for winter-flowering inside, cut 
back in September.

Aquilegia 
(COLUMBINE) 
Charming hardy plants, bearing in countless numbers 
through May and June exquisite clear, blue, white, rose, 
yellow, purple and striped blossoms. For planting in 
permanent borders or edges of shrubbery this old-fash¬ 
ioned favorite is one of the best. They thrive well with 
ordinary garden culture. Few hardy perennials are so 
easily grown from seed. 24 in.

of a beautiful snow- 
white carpet. Pkt.

Brilliantly foliaged annuals, some of the varieties bearing curious racemes of 
flowers. All are useful in borders of tall plants among shrubs, or for the centers 
of large beds. Do not grow them too closely together, but give them sufficient 
room to develop their full beauty. When flowered in small pots under glass they 
are very charming.

Annual. One of the best summer bloom¬ 
ing plants grown from seed. Rapid growers,

and they soon make a low mass of charm¬ 
ing flowers.
