Snapdragons 



'Antirrhinum 



For color in the garden, or grown commercially by florists in greenhouses during the winter, or aa 

 cut flowers, Snapdragons (botanically Antirrhinum) have been universal favorites for years. 

 The introduction of new and varied types has made them more popular than ever. All are easily 

 grown in ordinary, well-drained garden soil in either full sun or semi-shade. Flowers are freely 

 produced for several months and until frost where conditions are favorable. For earliest blooms, 

 sow seed indoors about six weeks before your regular outdoor planting time; for later flowera 

 sow seed outdoors in the spring when soil has become quite warm. 



Maximum or Tall Giant Snapdragons 



The tallest spikes and the largest flowers. Plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall outdoors and very much taller, 

 depending on culture, in the greenhouse. To keep the plants in constant bloom, grow them in good) 

 well-prepared soil, and keep all faded blooms cut so plants will not form seed. A wide range o( 

 colors is offered. Fine for beds and borders, and invaluable for cutting.

952 Rock Hybrids The plants are quite small, 

 only 6 to 8 in. high, and quite compact growing. 

 So ideally suited are they for Rock Garden planting, 

 that they are called "Rock Hybrids," but they are 

 just as useful for edgings, borders and potting. 

 The little plants quickly reach flowering size and 

 bloom for a long time. The flowers are of all tha 

 usual colors found in the larger Snapdragons but 

 seem to run more to the light colored ones. Each 

 tiny plant is just covered with little spikes of 

 bloom. Interesting and unusual type.
