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 ofTer 

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

 large-flowered half dwarf variety. In our trials the seeds sown out 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. 

 We have made exhaustive tests of scores of varieties and offer the following as 

 being the best in their respective colors.
