HOSEA WATERER, Philadelphia 
Antirrhinum • Snapdragon 
Seed should be sown either in the house from February on or in hotbeds from 
March onward. Snapdragons belong to the aristocrats of the garden. They appear 
in the most pleasing shades, are extremely stately in appearance, and useful in 
unlimited degree, being fine for both bedding and cutting purposes. They are 
offered in two classes as to height, the giants growing fully 3 or more feet high; the 
semi-dwarf, about 1 feet. The pretty flowers, which completely encircle the stout 
stem to fully 1 to feet at the top, are very large and from their form their name 
has been derived. Seed-pods should never be allowed to form, and flower-stalks, 
after blooming, should be promptly removed. Snapdragons flower continuously

RUST-RESISTANT ANTIRRHINUMS 
After many years of intensive research our growers have achieved 
Rust-resistant Antirrhinums, which makes it possible to grow these

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 length of spike, size of blooms and clean, 
healthy foliage, free from rust.
