Antirrhinum—Snapdragon 
Perennials, flowering the first year from seed. 
The seed may be sown outdoors early in May and will produce 
blooming plants from July to frost. For early fiowering sow in 
the house or frames in February or March. Cover the seed very 
lightly. Set the plants 9 inches apart. 
GREENHOUSE CULTURE—To get a crop for Christmas sow 
from June 25 to July 31, depending upon the time you wish to 
bench the plants. Sow in August to get flowers for Mother’s Day. 
Use well prepared LOOSE soil, cover this with a thin layer of 
fine clean sand, then sow the seed and be sure to cover the same 
very lightly. Covering the seed too deep and overwatering be- 
fore or after germination, will mean a poor stand. When your 
plants are large enough, put them into 2% inch pots, use sifted 
sod soil, that contains no fresh manure. Pinch the plants once 
and allow 6 to 8 breaks to grow on each. Harly in September 
the plants will be nearly pot bound and it is time to place them into 
benches 10 inches apart. Remove all suckers and prune the shoots 
at the base of the plants if they should crowd one another. Provide 
carnation supports early. Temperature 58-60 degrees at night. To 
prevent rust never allow water to touch the foliage even when the 
plants are first potted. 
You ‘will never have any trouble with rust or disease if you 
will water carefully, not crowd the plants and ventilate, but if 
rust should appear write for bulletin No. 221 to Agricultural Bx- 
periment Station, Urbana, Ill. 
SNAPDRAGON for a winter crop. Says an experienced and suc- 
cessful grower: For a winter crop we pinch the plants 10 days after 
they eo into the bench. We allow four inches of rich and enue soil 
and plant closely, never farther apart than 6x6 inches. his makes 
the plants grow tall and while we get only a few spikes per plant 
these are well flowered. After the first crop is cut the plants send up 
another bunch of shoots which are tall when in bloom and all of them 
first class stock.
