Snapdragon, Super Giant 

SCHIZANTHUS 
Butterfly Flower. A very pretty, hardy annual which grows easily in any good garden soil. Beautiful, 
bushy plants with finely lacmiated foliage, covered with dainty flowers handsomely marked with 
contrasting colors, somewhat resembling some species of orchids. Sow in the open border in May and 
thin to stand over a foot apart. They will flower in late summer in cool latitudes. 
Dwarf Masterpiece. _ Pkt. 20c; doz. 35c; Koz. $1; Yoz. $3 
This is the finest strain of all for pot culture. The dwarf, compact plants form pyramids 6 to 8 inches high, and 
are very free flowering. The plants are of good size and come in a varied well-balanced color assortment, including 
the darker and brighter colors. Schizanthus is excellent as a cool temperature plant. A January sowing indoors 
will make fine 3-mnch plants for spring. A late summer or fall sowing, grown in a 45-degree greenhouse, will make 
5 to 6-inch pot flowering specimens by February. Used for summer bedding, where the summers are cool. 
SNAPDRAGON 
Antirrhnum. These are among the aristocrats of the garden and are useful in unlimited degree, being 
fme for both bedding and cutting purposes. The stately, graceful flower spikes, many to each plant, 
come in the most pleasing shades and in three height classes. In good soil 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 development, but it is better to start the seed indoors in February or 
March, sowing the seed thinly in flats of soil topped with a thin layer of sand or finely sifted coal ash. 
Keep moderately moist m 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 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.
