Snapdragon, Super Giant 

SNAPDRAGON 
Antirrhinum. These are among the aristocrats of the garden and are useful in unlimited degree, being 
fine for both bedding and cutting purposes. The stately, graceful flower spikes, many to os plant, 
come in the most pleasing shades and in three height classes. The pretty flowers, of a form from which 
their name has been derived, are set closely along the stout stems. They flower continually 
from July to frost and should be cut promptly when faded. Sow the seed outdoors in May, thinning 
plants to allow ample room for dev elopment, but it is better to start the seed indoors in Febr uary or 
March, sowing the seed thinly mm flats of soil topped with a thin layer of sand or finely sifted coal ash. 
Keep moderately moist in a fairly warm place until growth appears. After that give air and light, 
but not direct sunlight. Water carefully, keeping moist but not wet. To prevent damping off use Seme- 
san. Set plants in the border in May, the tall varieties at least 1 foot apart and the dwarfs 9 inches. 
RUST-RESISTANT STRAINS 
The development of these new rust-resistant Snapdragons is one of the greatest recent accomplishments. It i is now 
possible to grow perfect Snaps where you previously failed due to rust infection. Rust-resistant seed germinates 
better, the plants are more vigorous, the foliage clean and the flowering season prolonged.
