HENDERSON’S 
GIANT 
FLOWERING 
Antirrhinums or Snapdragons 
These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by popular favor from the plebeian 
Snapdragon" rank of common flowers to a higher level. This marked change in the general 
estimation is the direct result of the evolutionary improvement for the past few years that has 
made the Giant Flowering Antirrhinum race so highly satisfactory for gardens, bedding, borders, 
pot culture, for house decoration, forcing for winter cut flowers, etc. The plants are of healthy 
robust growth, with deep green foliage, free and continuous blooming, producing long, graceful 
spikes of immense and durable pure colored flowers, either rich and brilliant or soft and dainty, 
as may be selected. Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and independence of 
heat and drought, and pure, bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. 
Although perennials in the South they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; 
spring-sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing 
profusion until frost. The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. An effective 
bed may be formed by planting the center with the tall varieties and the outer rows with the 
semi-dwarf; planted in a combination of separate colors the effect is very beautiful — although 
even a "Mixed" bed is a feast for the eyes; the plants should lie placed 9 inches apart each way. 
Pinching out the tops -although it delays the beginning of flowering — forces the plants to 
branch low and ultimately gives better results.

SEMI-DWARF GIANT-FLOWERING ANTIRRHINUMS 
A beautiful class extensively used in Europe for bedding. These semi-dwarf varieties pro¬ 
duce as large flowers as the tall sorts, while the plants arc of compact, bushy growth, only a foot 
high, and are completely enveloped with flowers throughout summer and fall. (See engraving.)

DOUBLE-FLOWERING ANTIRRHINUM 
The plants bear long spikes of large Purple-red, lighted yellow and white flowers; between 
the upper and lower lips, fantastic petals emerge which give a doubled aspect to the flowers. 
About 50 per cent, will come true —the balance being large-flowering singles. Pkt. 15c.

AMPELOPSIS 
VEITCIIII " I ?. 0 J s a t p 0 a n „ I ,7; 
A valuable climber. Entirely 
hardy in the most exposed places, 
often attaining a height of 20 to 
30 feet in two or three years from 
seed, clinging to stones, brick or 
wood work with the greatest 
tenacity. It is a great protection 
to walls, etc., as the leaves, 
lapping over each other, shed 
rain. For covering dead trees, 
gate posts, boundary walls, etc., 
it has no equal. In the summer 
the foliage is a rich shade of green, 
but in the fall it assumes the most 
gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson 
and orange.
