Snapdragons (Antirrhinums) 
Rust Proof Varieties 
In addition to a very fine selection of this favorite 
annual . . . comprising the Dwarf, Maximum, Majestic 
and other strains ... we call your attention to the new 
rust-proof mixture of the separate colors thereof. During 
recent years a rust has made itself manifest similar to 
the Hollyhock fungus. Malmacerum Pucinnium which 
destroys the plants. In some districts of California they 
survive the fungus infection and can be grown without 
much trouble. However, the laboratory work done by 
the University of California and Messrs. Lagomarsino 
of Sacramento have evolved a new rust-resistant strain. 
They are offered below ... we commend them to your 
attention. 
Maximum Crimson. A magnificent Rust Proof 
Antirrhinum of the Maximum type, with huge individ¬ 
ual flowers and flower spikes. The color is pure crimson 
overlaying a ground of orange and give the effect of a 
fiery crimson. 
The Pearl. Rust Proof Pearl has the largest blooms 
and spikes of any antirrhinum we have ever seen. The 
bloom is a true Majestic of the largest type. The healthy 
light green foliage and complete freedom from rust 
makes this Antirrhinum a joy to behold. A glistening 
pearly white. 
Mixed. A fine mixture of rust resistant snapdra¬ 
gons, including the following colors: crimson, rose, 
orange, yellow and white. 
Any of the above rust-proof snapdragons, per
