BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



Antirrhinum or Snapdragons 



Antirrhinum • Snapdragon 



BHH 



General favorites, bearing long spikes of 

 variously colored flowers all summer. The dwarf 

 kinds are splendid for low beds, borders, or 

 window-boxes. The tall kinds may be grouped 

 very effectively in a general border and are un- 

 excelled as cut-flowers. Seed started indoors in 

 February or March will bloom in early July, or 

 if started later outdoors^ will bloom in August. 

 If protected during the winter, will bloom again 

 the following year. Easily forced in the green- 

 house during the winter if sown in late summer.
