Snapdragons 
Beautiful New Varieties Which Should Be in Every Garden 
Giant Snapdragons have become immensely popular in 
the last few years. This is not to be wondered at, as 
there are few flowers which for gorgeous coloring can 
match this Snapdragon and are as valuable for cut flowers 
as for show in the garden. The plants grow 2 V 2 feet 
high, are of healthy, robust growth, with deep green foli¬ 
age, free and continuous blooming, producing immense 
spikes with enormous flowers, double the size of the older 
sort, and of great fragrance. Spring sown seed outdoors 
produces flowering plants in July, remaining in bloom 
until frost. For earlier flowering, start indoors and trans¬ 
plant when weather is suitable. Their ease of culture, in¬ 
dependence of heat and drought, continuous blooming 
qualities, and their magnificent, bright colors should en¬ 
title these Snapdragons to a place in every garden.

BEAUTIFUL STOCKS 
Haines Evening Scented 
The Unequalled Perfume Plant 
No annual in cultivation, even including Mignonette, 
surpasses this in the delicate perfume of its flowers. 
The pink and lilac blossoms are partially closed dur¬ 
ing the day, in a yard, but expand and produce their 
fragrance in the evening. A few plants growing will 
emit a delicious perfume which may be detected half 
a block or more away. While the flowers themselves 
have no particular beauty, the plant is well worth 
growing for its delightful fragrance. Annual IS inches 
high. Pkt. 8c; Vg oz. 12c; y 2 oz. 36c. 
Cornflower Aster 
Cornflower Aster 
(Stokesia Cyanea) 
A most charming and beautiful native 
plant. Grows from 18 to 24 inches high, 
bearing freely from early in July until Oc¬ 
tober, its handsome Cornflower-like blos¬ 
soms, which measure from 4 to 5 inches 
across. It is of the easiest culture, suc¬ 
ceeding in any open, sunny position, and 
not only is it desirable as a single plant 
in the hardy border, but it can also be used 
with fine effect in masses or beds of any 
size. (For nicely started Plants, see page 
80.) Mixed colors. 
Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 35c; V 2 oz. 98c. 
Giant Spider Plant 
A strong robust grower, 4 to 5 feet high, 
with great panicles of bloom as large as a 
Hydrangea and unaffected by wind or weath¬ 
er. The flowers are deep purplish pink 
when they first open, but turn to light pink, 
so that the lower part of the panicle is a 
different color from the upper. The stamens 
are several inches long, from which it de¬ 
rives the name—Spider Plant. Seed sown 
in the open ground in May should flower 
in July and continue in flower uninterrupt¬ 
edly until frost. Pkt., 8c; Vi oz -» 24c; oz.

Ten Weeks Snowball

very double and perfect in form. As a 
pot plant it is greatly superior to any 
other variety flowering for a long period, 
and at any time of the year, according to 
time of sowing. About 2 feet high. Pkt. 
7c; Vs oz. 40c; V 2 oz. $1.15. 
Beauty or Giant Nice 
Two feet high with numerous long spikes 
of unusually large, very double and de¬ 
lightfully fragrant flowers. They make 
fine bedding plants but are of greatest 
value as pot plants and the splendid 
trusses are unsurpassed for table and other 
floral decorations. They do not flower as 
quickly from seed as Ten Weeks Stocks, 
but require about 12 to 15 weeks. Mixed 
colors. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 42c; V 2 oz. $1.10.
