SNAPDRAGONS FOB CUTTING. 



I would like a little advice on snap- 

 dragons for cut flowers. Is Ramsburg's 

 Silver Pink a good variety? Are his 

 white and yellow good for that purpose t 

 When would you advise to sow them so 

 as to have them blooming in the field 

 as early as possible? A. L. — Mo. 



The Ramsburg snapdragons men- 

 tioned are all good. The earlier the 

 seed can be sown now the better for 

 an early outdoor crop. C. W.
