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 wiU 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.
