Culture 



in the garden, because those who have seen snap- 

 dragons growing and flowering gaily on the top 

 of old walls and in other out of the way places 

 know how accommodating they are. In beds of 

 all sizes and shapes they may be grown, in lines 

 in borders, where they are most effective if the 

 colours are nicely blended ; in clumps of half-a- 

 dozen plants of the same variety in mixed borders 

 they are happy. A free, well-drained soil suits 

 them best, if slightly calcareous so much the better 

 and it should be firm. What Antirrhinums do 

 not like is fresh manure, and where they are 

 not happy is in a wet or boggy soil. They want 

 the sunlight and they want their "feet" dry after 

 they are established.
