[Snapdragon] 
Snapdragons are among the most popular 
bedding plants; the richness and diversity of 
their colors, their great freedom and pro¬ 
tracted blooming season giving them great 
value for garden color masses, as well as for 
cutting. They have dark glossy leaves; and 
pea-shaped flowers with uniquely marked 
throats, set densely in long, upright racemes. 
They bloom in July from seed sown outdoors 
in early May; but for earlier bloom, seed 
should be started indoors during March. Suc¬ 
ceed best in dry loamy soil.

FLOWER SEED 
S. & H. Superior Strains 
LOWERS are enjoyed by everyone and are so easily raised from seeds 
that any home can have an abundance of blossoms during the entire 
year. Those we offer in the following pages are the products of the best 
American and European growers. No better strains are to be obtained at 
any price. Complete directions for sowing are printed on each packet. 
CLASSIFICATION: Flowers are usually known as Annuals, Biennials, 
and Perennials. 
Annuals bloom and ripen seed the first year, then perish. 
Biennials do not generally bloom the first year and are 
in perfection the second year only. 
Perennials * flower several years in succession, many 
blooming the first year from seed sown early, and are used 
for permanent plantings. 
WHEN TO SOW SEED; Hardy Perennials and Bien¬ 
nials may be sown either in early fall or spring and require 
no protection through the winter. 
Hardy Annuals may be sown either in late fall or spring. 
Half Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials cannot be 
sown in open ground until warm weather; they may, if desired, 
be started early inside and transplanted afterwards. The latter 
two need protection in winter or may be carried through in cold' 
frames or greenhouses. 
A tabulated list of Perennials and Hardy 
Biennials may be found on page 33.
