SNAPDRAGON (Antirrhinum)

flowering the first year from seed. Its bright- 
colored, curiously formed flowers always excite 
interest. The rich spikes are beautiful for cut¬ 
ting, and keep fresh a long time. Flower pro¬ 
fusely through summer until frost. For early 
flowers, sow under glass in February or March, 
and transplant into! beds of warm, dry soil 
moderately enriched. The Snapdragon is treated 
as an annual and the seed sown every year.
