Antirrhmum. These are among the aristocrats of the garden and are useful in unlimited degree, being 
fe 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 in 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.
