 compare with the Snapdragons. Although llie\ are real I \ biennials or short-lived 

 perennials, they bloom freely the first season from seed started in early spring. 

 If cut l>aek and polled up in September they will bloom nearly all winter, or they 

 may be It- 1 1 outdoors with some protection over winter to bloom again in the spring. 

 For summer flowers sow the seed indoors in March and transplant to the open 

 ground in May, choosing, if possible, a moist location and cultivating frequently.
