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 Rust-Resistant Maximum Varieties 



The development of these new Rust-Resistant 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 new 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 Rust-Resistant, success with 

 them is most certain.
