Superb New Antirrhinums or Snapdragons 
Snapdragons are among the most popular 
flowers grown in California. In the last few 
years great advancement has been made in 
the development of these lovely flowers, both 
increasing the size of the blossoms and add¬ 
ing many new and delicate shades. The in¬

15 to 24 inches high and are the most desir¬ 
able for bedding. The tall varieties grow

their long stems are particularly valuable for 
cut flowers. Below I am offering a large as¬ 
sortment of the very best varieties of recent
