GIANT SPIDER PLANT 
(Cleome Pungens) 
Although this is one of our native annuals, it Is but little 
known. The flowers are deep purplish pink when they first 
open, but fade 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 derives the name—Spider 
Plant. It is a strong robust grower, 4 to 5 feet high, with 
great panicles of bloom as large as a Hydrangea and un¬ 
affected by wind or weather. Seed sown in the open ground 
in May will flower in July and continue in flower uninter¬ 
ruptedly until frost. Pkt., 200 seeds, 6c; 1-4 oz., 15c.

Giant Spider Plant 
SNAPDRAGON (Antirrhinum) 
NEW GIANT—SWEET SCENTED 
Giant Snapdragons have become immensely popular In 
the last few years. This is not to be wondered at, as there 
are few flowers whicli for gorgeous coloring can match 
this Snapdragon and are as valuable for cut flowers as 
for show in the garden. 
The plants grow 2H feet high, are of healthy, robust 
growth, with deep green foliage, 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 transplant when weather Is suitable. 
Their ease of culture, independence of heat and drought, 
continuous blooming qualities, and their magnificent, 
bright colors should entitle these Snapdragons to a place in 
every garden. Pkt., 300 soeds, 7c; 1-8 oz., 25c.
