Super-Giant Snapdragons 
Forbes Wonderful Snapdragons 
(Antirrhinums) 
For exquisite form, color, and all-round usefulness, there are 
few flowers to compare with the Snapdragons. They are really 
biennials but bloom freely the first season from seed started 
in early spring. If cut back and potted up in September, they 
will bloom nearly all winter, or they may be left outdoors, with 
some protection. over winter, to bloom again in the spring. 
Choose, if possible, a moist location and cultivate frequently.
