SNAPDRAGONS 
These exquisite flowers have always been 
universal favorites for color in the garden, 
in the greenhouse during 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, and 
until frost where conditions are favorable. 
Sow seeds outdoors when soil has become 
quite warm; for earlier blooms sow indoors 
six weeks before your regular outdoor 
planting time.
