RECENT NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES for 1938 
Antirrhinum, Magic Carpet 
Antirrhinum, Magic Carpet 
Very dwarf; in beautiful mixture of colors. As rock-gardens still stand high in popular 
favor, any new, easily grown, and attractive plants suitable for the purpose will receive 
an eager welcome. This, we are sure, will be the case with this new Antirrhinum, which 
is a true hybrid between A. major and A. Moly, and, being of almost a creeping habit, it 
nestles amongst the stones and clothes them as with a carpet. The flowers appear in a 
variety of soft and pleasing colors and will add greatly to the gaiety of the rock-garden 
during the summer months. Pkt. 25 cts. 
New Rustproof Antirrhinum 
After many years of intensive research our 
growers have achieved a Rustproof Antir¬ 
rhinum which makes it possible to grow these 
desirable flowers in those sections where rust 
has been prevalent. Their results enable us 
to offer the following varieties in separate 
colors which are far superior to the non- 
resistant types. It is a joy to see these plants 
with their base-branching habit, length of 
spike, size of blooms and their clean, healthy 
foliage, free from rust.
