FLOWER SEEDS 35 



Border of Candytuft 



Antirrhinum • Snapdragon 



These are among the best (Towers for both cutting and bedding. Calhopsis, Golden Wave 



Every year new tyjjes and color combinations are introduced until 



now they can be had in almost every imaginable color except blue. The t.dl varieties are best planted 

 in the background and make the finest spikes for cutting. The semi-dwarf kinds are best for massing 

 in beds for broad color effects. All kinds are benefited by staking when small, to insure erect growth. 

 Seed should be started indoors early or in a coldframe for early bloom. Only ten weeks are required 

 for the plants to commence blooming and they continue until frost. The plants are fairly hardy per- 

 ennials and may be wintered in a coldframe or with heavy protection in the open.

 a touch, scattering the seeds far and wide. A very useful annual to grow in quantity to fill in
