SNAPDRAGON—ANTIRRHINUM 
Plant from September thru December 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom — 3-4 months 
Giant Snapdragons. The Snapdragons which we offer pro¬ 
duce massive spikes 3 to 4 feet high, with close-set, large, velvety 
flowers which last for many days when cut. The seeds are smsdl 
and slow to germinate. They should be planted in a shallow 
box of rich soil, and, when 4 inches high, may be transplanted 
in rich, moist soil 1 foot apart. As soon as the plants reach 8 
inches in height they should be tied to light stakes until the 
side branches are well developed. Frequent cultivation and ap¬ 
plications of fertilizer will produce spikes of astonishing vigor 
and blooms of marvelous size. 
New Half-Tall Snapdragons. The half-dwarf or medium- 
height Snapdragons are preferred by many. As they do not grow 
as tall as the new giant type they are sometimes better to use in 
certain positions in the garden. 
STATICE—SEA LAVENDER 
Plant from September thru January 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—3 months 
Slender, wiry, bushy plants, bearing masses of misty ever-last¬ 
ing flowers in delicate shades of lavender, rose, blue, and white. 
Valued for drying and makes an excellent everlasting flower for 
winter bouquets. Plants grow feet high. 
EARLY SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
Plant from September thru December 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom —2^-3 months 
We have the choicest varieties and mixture for the South. In 
planting, dig a trench 18 inches deep. Fill trench to within 6 
inches of the surface with very rich, pulverized soil to which 
Wizard Sheep Manure or Bone Meal has been added. Plant seed 
and cover 2 inches deep. When plants are 2 inches high, thin 
out to 4 inches apart. As plants grow, gradually fill trench. 
TITHONIA OR FLORIDA SUNFLOWER 
Plant from February thru June 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—3 months 
In a mild climate where the season is long, like in Florida and 
other Southern states, this brilliant Mexican species makes a 
fine showing. Many tall branching stalks rise from the base and 
carry large leaves besides numerous blooms, which resemble 
small sunflowers. They are of a dazzling orange-vermillion color. 
IMPROVED COLOSSAL VERBENAS 
Plant almost every month in the year, through fall, 
winter, and spring 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—3 months 
Verbenas are trailing, graceful plants with handsome foliage 
which cover themselves with large heads of brilliant flowers in 
a great variety of colors. Sow the seed in boxes or where they 
are to flower, and thin or transplant to a foot apart. 
VINCA OR PERIWINKLE 
Plant any month of the year 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—3 months 
A very pretty ornamental plant, growing 1 to Wi feet high, 
with dark foliage and dainty, bright flowers. Useful for bedding, 
edging and massing. Sow where the plants are to bloom or in 
boxes, and thin or transplant about a foot apart each way. 
ZINNIAS 
Ideal for Summer Flowers in Florida and the South 
Plant from February thru August 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—months 
New Crown O’Gold Type. This new type is the most out¬ 
standing development among Zinnias. The petals of all the 
flowers are overlaid with a deep golden yellow at the base, with 
the individual flower color at the tips. 
Fantasy Type. The flowers of this type are double, of medium 
size, with shaggy petals, and are of the curled or crested type, 
distinctly different from other types of Zinnias. 
Double Giant Dahlia-flowered. The enormous flowers are 
fully double, with broad, undulating rays in magnificent solid 
colors. Flowers measure 4 to 6 inches across, rivaling Dahlias 
in beauty and in perfectness. The plants grow 2 to 3 feet high, 
and should be set at least 8 to 12 inches apart. The seed should 
be sown where the plants are to bloom. They like rich soil and 
plenty of water, especially at blooming time. 
Giants of California. The flowers are usually brighter than 
the dahlia-flowered type, almost as large, and similar in shape. 
Mexican Hybrids (Zinnia Mexicana). The small flowered 
Mexican Zinnias have a charm all their own. The smaller flow¬ 
ers lend themselves to bedding and make a brilliant display and 
yet have stems long enough to make fine bouquets for small 
vases and bowls. The mixture contains many attractive colors 
and color combinations. Excellent for edgings. 
Pompon or Lilliput. Plants are about W 2 feet high or less, 
bearing miniature flowers resembling pompon or button chrysan¬ 
themums. These are charming when cut and the plants make an 
excellent low edging or border for taller varieties.
