Giant Snapdragons. The Snapdragons which we offer pro¬ 
duce massive spikes 3 to 4 feet high, with close-set, large, 
velvety flowers which last for many days when cut. The seeds 
are small and slow to germinate. They should be planted in a 
shallow box of rich soil, and, when 4 inches high, may be 
transplanted in rich, moist soil 1 foot apart. As soon as the 
plants reach 8 inches in height they should be tied to light 
stakes until the side branches are well developed. Frequent 
cultivation and applications of fertilizer will produce spikes 
of astonishing vigor and blooms of marvelous size.
