Antirrhinum. 
Antirrhinum (Snapdragon). 
If sown in March or April and set out when strong 
enough, these plants make a display that is unequalled for 
duration and brilliancy. The tall sorts are line in borders. 
The dwarf make splendid beds. They prefer a light, 
warm, but well enriched soil. Seed sown outdoors in 
May will produce satisfactory results. It is not unusual 
however, when very strong plants are desired, to sow seed 
in August or September and cover the plants with a mulch 
on the approach of cold weather. Plants raised from autumn 
sown seed may be grown on in pots and will produce an 
immense quantity of bloom throughout a very long sea¬ 
son. If grown indoors they require about the same tem¬ 
perature and treatment as carnations. Most of the varie¬ 
ties are fairly hardy and will live through a New England 
winter if well covered. Antirrhinum is a specialty with 
us, and we have done much to improve the plants in 
height, habit, flower and color. We consider our strains 
superior to any obtainable in size and brilliancy of flowers.

A quit eg in ( Columbine) - 
This family is one of the most beautiful and popular among hardy perennials. The different varieties present an 
unusual wealth of color and form. They are all of elegant habit and bloom throughout a very long season. For 
growing in borders or filling up bays in shrubbery they are unsurpassed. Seed sown in pans or boxes and placed in a 
cold frame, or in the house, in March will frequently produce bloom the same year. It is best, however, to sow seed 
out of doors when ground warms up. Any ordinary garden soil is suitable for their growth, but a light sandy soil is 
preferable. The flowers are all fragrant.
