New Rust-Proof Antirrhinum 



Antirrhinums are very seldom attacked by in- 

 sect pests, but in many sections of the country are 

 quite subject to rust. The University of California, 

 working with the various growers in the West, 

 have finally developed a strain that is 75% rust- 

 proof. Individual blooms and spikes are as large 

 as the colossal strain and while all colors are not 

 yet available separately, the mixture shows a very 

 wide assortment of colors. Antirrhinum rust is not 

 so prevalent in this district outdoors but it has 

 been very troublesome in the greenhouse. 



These varieties are fine for forcing: 



734 Rust-proof Yellow. 



735 Rust-proof "White. 



737 Rnst-proof Pink. 



738 Rust-proof Bronze Shades. 



Each, pkt. Si. 00; 4 pkts.. S3 50. 

 740 Rust-proof Mixed. Pkt.. 50c.
