SNAPDRAGONS OR ANTIRRHINUM HHB 
Although they are really biennials, or short-lived perennials, Snapdragons 
bloom freely the first season 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 November. For earlier flowering, they may be started indoors or in 
a frame in March, transplanting them to the open when the weather is suitable. 
RUST PROOF 
SNAPDRAGONS 
Rust, causing imper¬ 
fect flowers and yel¬ 
lowing and gradual 
death of the plant, has 
been the bane of all 
lovers of Snapdragons. 
If you couldn’t grow 
Snapdragons before, 
you can now do so and 
expect a good measure 
of success. 
Salzer’s Rust Proof 
Snapdragons have been 
specially bred to resist 
rust and have given 
yields of 75% where or¬ 
dinary seed failed com¬ 
pletely. This year we 
can offer mixed seed 
only. The flowers are 
large and perfectly 
formed. In fact some of 
the largest and finest 
Snapdragons we have 
ever seen! Height 2*4 
feet. Early flowering.
