RECENT NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES for 1936 
Acroclinium, Large-flowered Double 
Hybrids 
Acroclinium, New Large* 
flowered Double Hybrids 
These are such a great improvement over 
the old varieties that they can hardly be 
recognized as members of the same family. 
The double flowers are extremely large, at 
least twice the size of the ordinary strain, on 
12 to 18-inch stems, and are borne freely 
over a long flowering period. The range of 
color is most remarkable being especially rich 
in shades of salmon, apricot, pink, rose, and 
cerise, with white and creamy tones to 
balance up the pastel mixture. While some 
of the flowers have a light eye, the majority 
are enhanced by a boldly contrasting dark 
center. When cut in the bud this desirable 
“Everlasting” can be dried for winter bou¬ 
quets. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
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. There are also 
more flowers in full bloom at one time on a 
spike. It is uniform in habit, growing about 
2J^ feet high, and the colors are fixed and 
true. We believe these qualifications make 
this the best Antirrhinum strain for all-round 
garden culture.

New Rustproof Antirrhinum 
After many years of intensive research our 
growers have achieved a Rustproof Antir¬ 
rhinum which makes it possible to grow these 
desirable flowers in those sections where rust 
has been prevalent. Their results enable us 
to offer the following varieties in separate 
colors which are far superior to the non- 
resistant types. It is a joy to see these plants 
with their base-branching habit, length of 
spike, size of blooms and their clean, healthy 
foliage, free from rust. 
Rustproof Snapdragon 
Rustproof Antirrhinum 
nanum grandiflorum

blooms. Ideal for beds and borders as they 
do not require staking. Also valuable for 
cutting.
