tufts of crowded pea-flowers, from downy lemon, through 
sunlit bronze, to coppery twilight richness. Pkt. 16c. 
ANTIRRHINUM or SNAPDRAGON 
No bouquets needed for Antirrhinum, it will supply its 
own : but if you have a rock garden to brighten, or a ter¬ 
race bank to cover, do not overlook those delightful little 
species A. asarina and A. molle, nor the new molle-majus 
hybrid. Magic Carpet. 
21 ANTIRRHINUM ASARINA—erdk( 8 ) 6 . Trailing mats 
of sun-sparkling foliage, silvery and succulent. Big lone¬ 
some flowers sit about here and there, these of rich cream

cliffs of the Riviera has come this charmingly informal spe¬ 
cies. Giant flowers all summer, carried in quite unconven¬ 
tional formation along many half-decumbent stems. Wide 
range of shades and tones in the pastel series. Pkt. 20c.

er that grows from an edible tuber. Flower clusters of 
chocolate purple in Wistaria form. Good hardy ornamen¬

open and graceful. Give it a full sunny bank. Pkt. 15c. 
AQUILECIA or COLUMBINE 
For swaying airiness of blossom, for soft tones and subtle 
tintings, we must go to Columbine. Mostly the Colum¬ 
bines are plants of fullest hardiness, and forthrightly 
adaptable. Neither are they difficult from seed, if only 
we will take account of their predilection for cool soil, 
and sow in spring or fall; or if in summer, at least shade 
the seedbed.

has produced a robust strain of high ornamental value.
