My Original Silver Pink Snapdragon 

 has been sold and exhibited in all of the 

 leading markets, but not at any recent 

 show. Show prizes on snapdragons have 

 but little value at present. There are 

 no rules governing the judging, and a 

 tail-end variety in one show can easily 

 be a winner in another show. This fact 

 has and will keep out exhibitors, as 

 noted in the recent shows where only 

 two or three entries were made. SIL- 

 VER PINK is not only the better of 

 two varieties but of all of the varieties 

 to date. Its beautiful color and splen- 

 did habit of growth stands pre-emi- 

 nently alone. There is no other variety 

 that approaches it, and now that it will 

 reproduce in color and habit from seed 

 with only a few pleasing sports, it can 

 be extensively grown at small cost. Wo 

 have customers that got as many as 900 

 plants from one packet of seed, which 

 reduces the cost to a minimum. 



Many varieties • of snapdragon now 

 offered show side growth near the 

 Of course, this can be removed at the expense of a bare stem. Silver Pink 



MARKETED IN FULL DRESS 



Side growth gracefully tapers from one inch at the flower to three and four inches at base of stem, which adds 

 sufficient green for a well finished bouquet. Buy Silver Pink and have all that is good in snapdragons. 



Silver Pink is now growing in a number of foreign countries, carried there by its record and influence, which 

 are safe, sane leaders. A good article is always imitated even to the use of its name. But the beautiful light, 

 silvery shade of pink alone will hold Silver Pink in position. Other pink shades will have a limited use, but, as 

 in the carnation, the one that pleases the public will remain. Recall the Lawson and all kindred shades of carna- 

 tions. They have passed and the buyer is still calling for the light, daybreak shades. The buyer, governed by 

 the public, rules the' situation and will ever do so. Don't spend your time and money trying to break this law. 

 The people buy what they want, hence the great popularity of SILVER PINK — the pioneer commercial snapdragon.
