NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN Flower Seeds for 1928 For General List of Flower Seeds, see Pages 63 to 118 Antirrhinum (snapdragon) (Illustrated in colors on the plate opposite.) Within the last few years Snapdragons have become immensely popular. This is not to be wondered at, as, whether used for cut- ting or for show in the garden, they are one of the most valuable flowers which can readily be grown from seed. We offer three dis- tinct types, the large-flowering, tall-growing or giant, the equally large-flowered, half dwarf variety, and the new maximum variety. In our trials the seeds sown out of doors the first week of May came into bloom early in July, remaining in full flower until November. For earlier flowering, they may be started indoors or in a frame in March, transplanting them to the open when the weather is suitable. We have made exhaustive tests of scores of varieties, and offer the following as being the best in their respec- tive colors.
