Snapdragon - Antirrhinum 
Snapdragons are easily grown and make a wonderful display, either in beds 
or as cut flowers. For gorgeous coloring few flowers can match Snapdragons. 
They are easily grown in ordinary garden soil in a sunny position where the 
plants can get plenty of fresh air. For early blooming sow indoors and trans¬ 
plant when about 2 inches tall to pots or boxes. If sown right in the open the 
seed should be covered very thinly.

Stocks, Annual 
It is quite a long way from the stocks 
of our grandmother’s time to the beautiful varieties of 
today, for much breeding work has been done on this 
old favorite; until today the stock has taken its place 
as a leading cut flower, with a fine range of colors. 
Stocks should be planted in a rich, sandy 
loam, mixed with well-decayed manure. 
They like cool weather and are therefore 
disappointing sometimes in hot summers. 
1212 Mammoth Early Branching Nice. 
This wonderful type produces plants 
often 3 feet tall, each bearing 6 to S 
fully developed flower stalks. The flow¬ 
ers appear on the long, stiff stalks like 
small rosettes, are exceedingly fra¬ 
grant, and range through a most com¬ 
plete scale of all the soft and distinct 
shades. While fine Stocks can be raised 
from seed sown outdoors, the finest 
plants are raised from seed sown in¬ 
doors and transplanted to the garden.

should be in every garden. The blossoms are tube¬

the beautiful colors displayed. Each flower is veined 
with a glint of gold, and it is the only flower to our 
knowledge possessing this odd characteristic. The

annuals. Height 2% feet.
