ANTIRRHINUM. 



(Snapdragon.) 



The Snapdragons are now receiving the attention they deserve. 

 They are undoubtedly one of the best cut flowers which can readily 

 be grown from seed, while for beds or borders they are a con- 

 stant source of pleasure, being in flower all the time. They 

 succeed best in a rather light soil, in a sunny position, and 

 although perennials, are best treated as annuals. For early 

 flowering, sow in fall, protecting the plants with a covering of 

 leaves through the winter; sown in spring, they bloom from 

 mid-summer till frost. per pkt
