Antirrhinum ® 



The Popular Snapdragons 



Snapdragons are great favorites. They are easily grown from seed blooming con- 

 tinuously throughout the summer and fall. If protected during the winter, midsummer 

 sowings will produce particularly fine flowers during the following spring. Just cover 

 them with a bottomless box and a pane of glass over the top. The germination of Snap- 

 dragon seed has proved to be easiest if finely sifted coal ashes are used as a seed bed. 

 Prepare your seed pan in the usual way and add a layer of finely sifted coal ashes j inch 

 deep on the top. Sow the seed thinly on top of the ashes and water carefully. Keep 

 moderately moist in a fairly warm place until the seedlings appear. 



Six Rustproof MELximum Varieties 



The development of these new Rustproof Snapdragons is one of the greatest 

 accomplishments ever made by plant breeders. It is possible now to have 

 them grow to perfection even where the old strain has proved a complete 

 failure due to rust infection. These ntw Maximum varieties grow about 

 3 feet in height and bear an abundance of long, strong flower stems set with 

 giant blooms of perfect form. As they are highly rustproof, success with 

 them is most certain.

 Giant Sorts 



This is a tall-growing type of Snap- 

 dragon reaching a height of about 30 

 inches. It is therefore good for combining 

 with other taller plants and the long- 

 stemmed spikes are very fine for cutting.

 ally placed along a long strong stem. For 

 best results the plants should be staked to 

 secure good straight stems.
