Heatherhome’s Famous Snapdragons 
(Continued) 
their name has been derived. The foliage of Ambrosia Mexicana is splendid to use with Snap¬ 
dragons. Seed pods should never be allowed to form on flower stalks, after blooming, should 
be promptly removed. Snapdragons flower continuously from July till frost. 
If you want to grow finer spikes of flowers, you must not allow the plants to produce 
them until they are strong and robust enough, and in order to make them robust simply pinch ofT 
all growth which might flower for the first month they show. In this way the plant will form a 
strong base from which afterwards the best spikes are produced. 
Have you experienced any trouble with Snapdragons in the past? Such as the leaves 
curling up, the growth becoming distorted, and the flower stems crooked or no flowers at all? Or 
do your plants suddenly wilt and all die down? If so, read our story of “Troubles in the Gar¬ 
den,” in the back of this book. 
Flower-stems will grow to a height of 3 feet or more and flowers are unusually large. Allow 
9 inches of space between the plants. 
Antirrhinum—Heatherhome Giants 
We thoroughly appreciate how' disappointing it is, to purchase a packet of pink Snap¬ 
dragon seeds and plant them, and arrange them in a certain spot where we want pink only, and 
when these plants come into bloom we find every color of the rainbow, but just so long as we 
are not masters of Nature, we cannot control this feature entirely, nor promise absolute relief. 
But the public will be pleased to know that we are on the way to improving this dis¬ 
appointing feature, and that some day we hope to offer all our Snapdragon seeds with a guar¬ 
antee of coming true to color. In anticipation of such a remarkable feat we offer now— 
140. - Heatherhome’s Pink Beauty guaranteed 95% true to color— our own intro¬ 
duction. From all reports received this variety in 1915 proved 100% true, a feat which 
never before has been accomplished. 
The tall spike is well dressed, with large, delicate salmon pink flowers enhanced by 
a pure white throat. 
Let this pink Snapdragon rise through a carpet of our new' pink Petunias, and a 
picture of loveliness is complete .Pkt., S .25; large pkt., S .75 
Heatherhome’s Pink Glow, our own introduction, being a new shade, so 
artistic and rich that we know the public will instantly approve of it and give it the 
popularity it deserves. If we should compare it with the pink of another flower we 
might mention the Rose called “Lyon,” or the Tulip called "Sarah Bernhard,” and 
while it is just as beautiful as these it has one additional charm, that is entirely its own. 
When you look at this flower you will find in it a glow of warmth, which must soften 
even a heart of stone, and as if its very soul was reaching out to us, so will our pulses 
quicken if we remain long in the company of this lovely flower. We found it as a 
sport, but have every confidence that the greater part of the seed will come true.
