ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon). 



Within the last few years Snapdragons have become immensely popular. This is 

 not to be wondered at, as, whether used for cutting or for show in the garden, they 

 are one of the most valuable flowers which can readily be grown from seed. We 

 offer two distinct types, the large- flowering, tall-growing, or giant, and the equally 

 large-flowered, hilf-dwarf variety. In our trials the seeds sown cut of doors the 

 first week of May came into bloom early in July, remaining in full flower until 

 November. For earlier flowering, they may be started indoors or in a frame in March, 

 transplanting them to the open when the weather is suitable.
