(Rust--resistant Varieties) 
The Rust-Resistant class of Antirrhinum have been developed to such a degree that they now super-

crop. ; 
Because of labor conditions we can offer Snapdragons in colors only this year and list below those 
most widely planted. This color group makes most interesting combinations for flower beds, and 
the cut flowers make splendid indoor decorations. 
Although considered an annual, plants often carry over through the winter in the warmer sec- 
tions, but for best flowers it is generally best to make new plantings edch year. : 
Sow seed in the spring for bloom from mid-summer to frost. Best results will be obtained in cold 
climates by starting seed under glass in March or April and transplanting outdoors when danger 
of frost is over. Soil should be medium to rich loam. When transplanting, pinch the tops back to 
produce bushier plants.
