Burpee’s Giant Skyscrapers are 
the tallest growing of allsnapdragons. 
Plants are base branching, with from 
3 to 7 strong stems arising from the 
main stem close to the ground. The 
central spike grows 3 ft. and more 
tall followed by the lateral stems of 
the same or nearly the same height. 
Giant Skyscraper Snapdragon 
spikes are very symmetrical, half or 
more than half the height of the 
entire plant is covered with flowers 
and buds. Each flower is large, held 
upright and away from the main 
stem to give a graceful and airy 
\ appearance. Though covered with a 
profusion of bloom, spikes are not 
coarse or weighty but most refined. 
Giant Skyscraper Snapdragons 
come in a glorious blend of colors, 
mostly the softer shades, —sulphur- 
yellow, primrose-yellow, canary yel- 
low, sulphur-yellow flushed pink, 
golden yellow with rose tube, apple- 
blossom-pink, light rose-pink, mid- 
rose, rose flushed golden, pink deli- 
lah, creamy white, creamy white 
flushed pink with an occasional rosy 
orange, rosy bronze or a delicate 
lavender. Space permits our show- 
ing only a few of these lovely colors 
on the front cover. 
Skyscraper Snapdragons, whether 
in the garden or in cut-flower ar- 
rangements, are equally striking for 
their distinctive beauty.

SNAPDRAGONS 
oS (botanically antirrhinums) have al- 
4 ways been universal favorites for color 
in. the garden, in the greenhouse dur- 
4 ing the winter, and as cut flowers. Of 
easiest culture, succeeding best in rich 
or moderately rich soil—in full sun 
or semi-shade. The gorgeous flowers 
are freely produced for several months,

. favorable. Sow seeds outdoors when 
3 soil has become quite warm; for earlier 
blooms sow indoors six weeks before 
your regular outdoor planting time. 
Full cultural directions are printed on 
every packet. Best treated as annuals, 
Ae although they are biennials in sections 
pets se having mild winters.
