Pkt. 25¢ 
~~ SNAPDRAGONS 
(botanically antirrhinums) have al- 
ways been universal favorites for color 
in the garden, in the greenhouse dur- 
ing the winter, and as cut flowers. Of 
easiest culture, succeeding in ordinary 
well-drained garden soil—in full sun 
or semi-shade. The gorgeous flowers 
are freely produced for several months, 
and until frost where conditions are 
favorable. Sow seeds outdoors when 
soil has become quite warm; for earlier 
blooms sow indoors six weeks before 











Full cultural directions on every 
packet. Best treated as annuals, al- 
though they are biennials in sections 
having mild winters.
