ANTIBBHINUM (Snapdragon). Within the 
last few years Snapdragons have become 
Immensely popular. This is not to be 
wondered at, as, whether used for cutting

of the most valuable flowers which can 
readily be grown from seed. In our trials 
the seeds sown out of doors the first 
week of May came into bloom early in 
July, remaining In full flower until No- 
vember. For earlier flowering, they may 
be started indoors or in a frame in 
March, transplanting them to the open 
when the weather is suitable.

These are also known as Bachelor's But-

the botanical names. They are well 
known to every flower lover, and always 
included in old-fashioned gardens. They
