GIANT ' FLOWERING antirrhinum" 
These form brilliant garden beds, flowering profusely and continuously the first season 
rrom seed, unusually effective bedding displays are made from these noble plants; they grow 
about 2 feet high, are healthy and stocky, and completely enveloped with large snap-dragon 
flowers of splendid texture and substance, rendering them very durable under all conditions of 
weather; 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, they do splendidly when grown as annuals; 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. (Sec cut)
