with many of our customers.

in the spring, after danger 
of frost is past. They grow 
about 2 1 /2 feet high, and 
come into bloom early in 
July, and continue without 
interruption until hard (rost. 
The beautiful flowers in ex¬ 
quisite shades are borne on 
long stems, and when c’-t 
keep in perfect condition for the best part of a week. 
They make effective borders or beds, and no garden is 
complete without Scabiosas, especially where flowers 
are wanted for cutting.

*SCABIOSA (Perennial) 
Perennial Scabiosas are of great value in the gar¬ 
den. They are in bloom from June to October, require 
little space and thrive in ordinary soil. The graceful 
flowers in delicate shades of blue and lavender are 
borne on long, erect stems and are a valuable cut 
flower.

shades in this well-known perennial family. Pkt. 25c. 
SCHIZANTHUS 
Butterfly or Fringe Flower 
This is one of the daintiest of annuals. The seed

mass of small but bright flowers. It may be sown in

in pots in the conservatory or house.

flowers, which are excellent for cutting. One of the 
most easily grown garden annuals. Pkt. 15c. 
SNAPDRAGON 
(Antirrhinum) 
Without question one of 
the most desirable flowers 
for general garden culture. 
They come in a great variety 
of colors and are equally 
good for bouquets as for 
mass planting. They are 
biennials, but can be handled 
as annuals also. When sown 
in early May they bloom in 
July and then until frost. 
If covered slightly they will 
come through the winter 
nicely and bloom abundantly 
the second year. For very 
early flowers start in the house and transplant out¬ 
doors when weather is favorable.

MAJESTIC SUPER GIANT 
Half Dwarf Sorts 
Majestic Antirrhinums are characterized by having 
the largest possible florets closely spaced in large 
spikes on a medium tall plant. The flowers are the 
largest of any type, with far better spacing than that 
found in any other type. They have been proven the 
best for both cut flowers and borders and will, no 
doubt, supersede the other strains when a complete 
color range has been developed. So far, the colors run 
principally to the orange and terra cotta shades, which 
are, of course, favorites in Antirrhinums. 
2915—Eldorado—Deep golden yellow, the richest 
tint to date in this family. Pkt. 15c.

leaves. Pkt. 10c. 
NEW RUST-PROOF GIANT 
SNAPDRAGONS 
Rust-Proof Snapdragons have always been wanted 
by florists and home gardeners. With the creation of 
these new strains, which produce plants 75% or more, 
immune to rust, a great advancement in breeding for 
disease resistance has been made, and it is only a 
matter of a short time before strains will be offered 
that will be 100% immune. With rust possibility 
eliminated, Snapdragons will become more popular 
than ever, just as wilt-resistant strains have made 
Asters so popular. 
2940—Majus Grand. Fiery Red—As its name sug¬ 
gests, this is a fiery red, quite a lovely color. This 
variety varies in its shades of deep ruby to ruby, suf¬ 
fused with orange. Pkt. 25c. 
2950—Majus Grand. Orange Shades—Lovely shades, 
running from deep to light orange. Every flower
