ANTIRRHINUM, 
The.se form brilliant garden beds, flowering 
prodigiously and continuously the first season 
from .seed. Unusually effective bedding displays 
are made from the.se 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, render¬ 
ing 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 
?)Iants by July, which continue to bloom in 
increasing i)rofusion until frost. The flowers are 
nearly double the .size of the older sorts. {See cut.)

‘‘Carpet of Snow.** The old-fashioned Sweet Alyssum has 
been too lon^ a favorite to need any introduction here 
This new variety emits the same honey-like j)erfume, is 
of purer white, and grows only 2 to 3 inches high and 
flowers even more profu.sely; in fact, it is a perfect 
carpet of snow throughout the season. We have 
counted as many as 300 heads of pure white flowers 
open on one plant at one time. For edgings and 
bedding this is a very satisfactory little annual.
