ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon). 



The Snapdragons are now receiving the at- 

 tention they deserve. They are undoubtedly 

 one of the best cut flowers, which can readily 

 be grown from seed, while for beds or borders 

 they are a constant source of pleasure, being 

 in flower all the time. They succeed best in a rather light soil, in a sunny 

 position, and although perennials, are best treated as annuals. For early 

 flowering, sow in fall, protecting the plants with a covering of leaves through 

 the winter; sown in spring, they bloom from mid-summer till frost.
