ANTIRRHINUI»I. 



( 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 constant 

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

 best in a rather light soil, in a sunny position, and although peren- 

 nials, 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.
