[Snapdragon] 
Snapdragons are among the most popular bedding plants; the 
richness and diversity of their colors, their great freedom and 
protracted 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 out¬ 
doors in early May; but for earlier bloom, seed should be started 
indoors during March. Succeed best in dry loamy soil.
