Flower Seeds for the Greenhouse 



Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) hhp 



Now grown as extensively under glass as in the garden. Snapdragons bloom to 

 perfection indoors and require no more care than Geraniums. With only ordinary 

 treatment and temperature, they will flower in from four to six months from the time 

 the seed is sown. The Tall Giant varieties are widely grown for cut-flowers, while the 

 Semi-Dwarf sorts are preferred for pot culture. 



TALL LARGE-FLOWERING VARIETIES. These grow to a height of 2 to 

 feet, with strong stems and well-filled spikes of large flowers. Much superior to 

 the old tall varieties.
