It would be too like playing at snapdragon.
"The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1 of 2)"
Frederic G. Kenyon
Here and there, in the tiny patches of front garden, a tenant tried to help mid-June by cultivating wall-flowers and geraniums and snapdragon and a rose or two; but the majority cared as much for the beauty of mid-June as for the cleanliness of their children,-an unsightly brood, with any slovenly rags about their bodies, and the circular crust of last week's treacle on their cheeks.
"The Red Planet"
William J. Locke
There were some plants growing on the coping-snapdragon and valerian-which gave it a look of age and settled use.
