Antirrhinum or Snapdragon 



A Beckert Seed and Bulb Company Specialty 



Purple King Apple Blossom Copper Shades Campfire 



We offer this year a complete new listing of Antirrhinum or Snapdragons, all of which with the 

 exception of the forcing and Tom Thumb varieties are Rust-proof or Rust Resistant. The Giant Colos- 

 sal type includes colors not offered previously and besides being rust resistant are even finer than they 

 have been in the past. The same holds true for the Half Dwarf varieties. The Forcing varieties are 

 all standard and especially grown for forcing under glass. Antirrhinum Tom Thumb is an excellent 

 subject for rock garden work. 



Snapdragons are general favorites, bearing long spikes of various colored flowers all summer. The 

 half-dwarf varieties are splendid for low beds or borders, and for window boxes. The tall kinds may 

 be grouped very effectively in the general border and are unexcelled as cut flowers. 



Seed started indoors in February or March will bloom in early July or if started later outdoors will 

 bloom in August. Plants may be wintered in a cold frame for bloom the following year.
