Antirrhinum, Giant Improved Early-Flowering 
This strain is a great improvement over the old giant-flowering type as it comes into full 
bloom one month earlier and for that reason appears to be more rust-resistant than any other 
Antirrhinum. There are also more flowers in full bloom at one time on a spike. It is uniform in 
habit, growing about 2F£ feet high, and the colors are fixed and true. We believe these qualifica¬ 
tions make this the best Antirrhinum strain for all-round garden culture.

plants come double. Shown in color on
