16 Flower Seeds 
HOSEA WATERER, Philadelphia 
Antirrhinum • Snapdragon 
Seed should be sown either in the house from February on or in hotbeds from March onward. Snapdragons belong to the 
aristocrats of the garden. They appear in the most pleasing shades, are extremely stately in appearance, and useful in unlimited 
degree, being fine for both bedding and cutting purposes. They are offered in two classes as to height, the giants growing fully 
3 or more feet high; the semi-dwarf, about 1^2 feet. The pretty flowers, which completely encircle the stout stem to fully 1 to 
13^2 feet the top, are very large and from their form their name has been derived. Seed-pods should never be allowed to form, 
and flower-stalks, after blooming, should be promptly removed. Snapdragons flower continuously from July to frost.
