Description

H g°ant!flower,ng antirrhinums
These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by popular favor from the plebeian "Snapdragon"
rank of common flowers to a higher level. This marked change in the general estimation is the direct result
of the evolutionary improvement for the past few years, that. has made the Giant Flowering Antii-rhinum
race so highly satisfactory for gardens, bedding, borders, pot culture, for house decoration, forcing for winter
cut flowers, etc. The plants are of healthy robust growth, with deep green foliage, free and continuous-
blooming, producing long, graceful spikes of immense and durable pure colored flowers, either rich and brilliant
or soft and dainty, as may be selected. Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and
independence of heat and drought, and pure, bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in
gardens. Although perennials in the South they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; spring-
sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing profusion until frost.
The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. An effective bed may be formed by planting the
center with the tall varieties, and the middle rows with the semi-dwarf, using the dwarf sorts for the border or
outer edge; planted in a combination of separate colors the effect is very beautiful — although even a " Mixed"
bed is a feast for the eyes; the plants should be placed 9 inches apart each way. Pinching out the tops —
although it delays the beginning of flowering — forces the plants to branch low and ultimately gives better
results. .See cut.)

flowers as large as the tall sorts throughout summer and fall.

Henderson's DWARF GIANT-FLOWERING ANTIRRHINUMS
Produce bushy plants, about 8 to 10 inches high, with flowers as large as the taller-growing sorts,
did for low beds — outer rows for taller varieties — or pot culture.
Splen-
Delicata. Light pink and blush-white Pkt. 10c.

New Double - Flowering
ANTIRRHINUMS
Quite a new departure. The plants in flower
are about 3 feet in height and bear freely, long
spikes of very large double flowers; that is, be-
tween the upper and lower lips, fantastic petals
emerge which give a double beard-like aspect to
the flowers. 60 to 70 per cent, of the seedlings
will come true — the balance being large-flowering
singles. .See cut.)
Double White. Pure white Pkt. 15c.
Double Red. Purplish-red, lighted with
yellow and white 15c.
Double Yellow. Brilliant canary-yellow 15c.
1 pkt. each of the above three double varieties, 40c.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
