ANCHUSA CAPENS1S. 
A hardy annual of more than ordinary beauty. It prows 
about two foot high, branching freely and bearing a profu- 
hIoii of i ho most lovely flowers, similar In all respects to the 
Forget-me-not, though the blooms are much larger and of 
liner color. It Is always taken for a beautiful, large-flowering 
Forget-me-not, and for bouquets and cut flowers It Is indeed 
superior to It. Its color Is a deep, clear, brilliant blue with 
a pure white eye; one of the rarest and most lovely shades of 
I hat color. It. blooms early and continues all summer. Pkt.,

ANTIRRHINUM, Tom THUA1B, (Snapdragon.) 
If those members of the flower-loving fraternity who have 
failed with houseplants would try the cultivation of some of 
our hardy out-door flowers as potplants, such as Antirrhinum, 
they would have little reason to complain of non-success. 
Many of the so-called annuals will keep up a succession of 
bloom for one, two and even three seasons with proper care 
to keep them from ripening seed, and under this treatment 
will bloom much more profusely, and produce much finer 
blossoms than If grown In the open air In the usual way. Be 
lag hardy, they can better endure occasional neglect and the 
dry atmosphere of the house than can more tender plants, 
and are not so liable to be injured by insects. Tom Thumb is 
the best of all the Antirrhinums, very dwarf, growing only 8 
Inches high, thickly studded with beautiful spikes of gay col¬ 
ored flowers, orange, scarlet, rose-white, maroon, striped, etc.
