NEW RUST-PROOF 
SNAPDRAGONS 
Among our most beautiful flow¬ 
ers, Snapdragons have not held 
the place to which they are entitled 
in our gardens. This has been 
caused by the fact that the plants 
are subject to the snapdragon rust, 
a disease that attacks the plants at 
all stages of growth. 
It is not uncommon to find a bed 
of these beautiful flowers attacked 
by rust and in a short space of 
time the plants have turned into 
most unsightly objects. 
These plants are fully described 
on Page 2 of this catalog. They 
come in a wide range of colors, 
fully as beautiful as the best of 
the commercial strains. 
They are 90 to 95% immune 
from the rust. In other words, 5 to 
10 % of the plants are still subject 
to the rust, but the balance are 
immune and will not be affected 
by the rust. They are rust-proof.
