Dreer's Superb Antirrhinums, or Snapdragons Within the past 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. Seed sown out of doors the first week of May will 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. DREER'S GIANT SNAPDRAGONS. This strain is a great improvement over the old tall-growing variety, being of stronger habit and producing longer spikes and much larger indhidual flowers; grows about 3 feet high and exceedingly valuable for cutting.
