SNAPDRAGON (A) 
Snapdragons are great favorites. They are easily grown 
from seed, blooming continuously throughout the summer 
and fall. If protected during the winter, midsummer sow¬ 
ings will produce particularly fine flowers during the fol¬ 
lowing spring. Just cover them with a bottomless box and 
a pane of glass over the top. 
Large-Flowering Giant Sorts 
This is a tall-growing type of Snapdragons, reaching a 
height of about 30 inches. It is therefore good for com¬ 
bining with other taller plants and the long-stemmed 
spikes are very fine for cutting. The flowers are large 
and they are artistically placed along a long, strong stem. 
For best results the plants should be staked to secure good 
straight stems.
