ANTIRRHINUM A. (SNAPDRAGON) 



Antirrhinums are one of the easiest flowers to raise from seed. They 

 bloom continuously throughout the summer and fall. Sow seed outdoors 

 as soon as the ground is warm, or for earlier blooming, start in pans 

 indoors and then transplant the seedlings to your out-door beds. 



New Antirrhinum, ROSALIE (Majus Grand) (Bronze Medal, 

 1940). This new rust-resistant, large flowered giant has a color 

 that is entirely new in Antirrhinum. It is a rich, deep rose with 

 an underlying tone of topaz or amber, giving it a richness that 

 makes it stand out conspicuously among all other colors. The plants 

 are base branching and produce from 6 to 8 huge, long flowering 

 spikes on which the florets are decidedly well arranged. We can- 

 not recommend it too highly for both bedding and cutting. Illus- 

 trated in color on back cover. Pkt. 25 cts.
