HUNT’S 
ANTIRRHINUMS 
Bor years we have watched, on a nearby estate, a strain of Snapdragons 
undergoing selection and reselection until it seemed to us that the pinnacle of Antir- 
rhinum perfection had been reached, and it was time to do something about it. We 
therefore arranged for seed to be saved and for it to be offered exclusively to our 
customers in 1942. In the meantime these breath-taking flowers were exhibited at 
the 1940 World’s Fair where the variety which has since been named World’s Fair 
was awarded first prize, and at the 1941 Philadelphia Flower Show they were given 
the coveted Award of Merit. 
The giant plants grow from 21% to 4 feet tall and are, for the most part, rustproof. 
For under-glass flowering, seed sown June 10th and set out August Ist blooms 
continually from early October right through the winter. 
For outdoor growing seed should be sown in flats under glass in February and 
grown along so they will be ready to set out in the garden to follow tulips, narcissus 
and other bulbs. In the garden, plants will grow about 18 inches tall and will bloom 
until frost, providing ideal cutting-bed and border material. 
For very early flowering these can be sown in flats in the fall and carried over 
winter in a coldframe kept fairly dry, and potted early in spring, then planted out 
as soon as weather permits. 
The lovely fimbriated flowers have serrated edges and the great spikes, which 
are shatterproof, last a week to ten days as cut-flowers. Antirrhinums are always 
in demand as cut-flowers and this grand strain is going to make them even more 
popular. 
To us, this is the floral event of years, and we are as proud as can be of being 
able to offer these wonderful flowers as our exclusive introduction. As they are unsur- 
passed as bedders we believe Hunt’s Antirrhinums Extraordinary will be grown in 
every garden when they are once seen.
