Others have been received from most reliable growers, and the descriptions are those of the introducers. For General List of Flower Seeds see pages 63 to 116 Dreer's Superb Antirrhinums, or Snapdragons (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 cutting or for show in the garden, they are one of the most valuable flowers which can readily be grown from seed. We offer two distinct types, the large-flowering, tall-growing, or giant, and the equally large-flowered, half-dwarf variety, both of which are described below and illustrated on the Color Plate opposite, the same colors being offered in both the Giant and Half-dwarf sorts. Seed sown out of doors the first week of May come 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. DRKER'S LARGE-FLO^WERING GIANT SNAPDRAGONS (Antirrhinum Majus Grandiflorum) This strain is a great improvement over the old tall-growing variety, being of stronger habit and producing longer spikes and much larger individual flowers ; grows about 3 feet high and exceedingly valuable for cutting. It may be also used in beds or the mixed border with fine effect. per pkt. 1171 Giant Scarlet. Bright and fiery. (No. 6 on plate.) 10 1172 " White. Pure white. (No. 5 on plate.) 10 1173 " Yellow.
