ATHTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon). 



(&£? colored iliusti-ation on back cover of tliis book.) 

 Tlie Snapdragons do not receive the aitention 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 constant 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.
