ANTIRRHINUM, Snapdragon (a) 
Snapdragons are fascinating flowers, with their interesting 
form and glowing colors. They are easy to grow and will 
bloom continuously until severe frost, making a wonderful dis- 
play and supplying unlimited cut flowers. Ordinary good 
garden soil will produce fine Snapdragons either in full sun or 
semi-shaded spots. Sow outdoors when danger of frost has 
passed, or indoors six weeks earlier. 
ROSALIE (Bronze Medal, All-America Selections, 1940). It is a 
rich deep rose with an underlying tone of topaz or amber, 
giving it a richness which makes it stand out among all other 
colors. The plants are base branching and produce from six 
to eight huge long flowering spikes on which the florets are 
decidedly well arranged. This is an all-purpose Snapdragon.
