BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



Antirrhinum 



(Snapdrag-on) 



General favorites, bearing long- spikes of 

 variously colored flowers all Summer. The 

 fhvarf kmds are splendid for low beds, bor- 

 ders, or window boxes. The tall kinds may 

 be grouped very effectively in a general 

 border and are unexcelled as cut tlowers. 



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. 



Note. — Snapdragon seeds are slow to ger- 

 minate, sometimes requiring as long as 

 three weeks, so that, if they are planted out 

 doors, they should be in a sheltered location 

 or covered with burlap.
