spikes of bloom of a glorious rich shade of burnt-orange. The reverse of the flower is deep orange-pink.

that Snapdragons like lime. Pkt. 50 cts.

This new dwarf Antirrhinum is a true hybrid between A. majus and A. moly, and being of almost a creep¬

of soft and pleasing colors and will add greatly to the gaiety of the rock-garden during the summer months.
