Our selection of varieties, we believe, includes the best of the new 
varieties as well as the reliable standard sorts. The quality of the 
seed is such as to grow you a profitable crop. 
STARTING YOUR “SNAPS” 
For earliest winter crop sow seed in June or early July, plant¬ 
ing into the benches in August. Sowing seed in August will 
produce plants ready to set in benches after “Mums” in No¬ 
vember. Another sowing in January will produce plants ready 
to set in March and flower in May. 
Seed started in June gives quicker and better germination 
than later real hot weather sowings. 
Yellow Cheviot Maid 
Originated by Frank A. Volz and offered 
now for the first time. This new yellow 
Snapdragon, we can recommend as being 
a real winter blooming yellow. We in¬ 
spected the plants when in full bloom 
and are showing on this page a photo¬ 
graph taken in Mr. Volz’s greenhouse on 
January 12th. 
The records on that crop arc* as follows: 
Seed sown on July 15th. potted in 214’s 
August 14th. planted in bench 7xS inches 
September 15th. topped October 1st. and 
the plants came into good bloom 90 days 
later.” 
The color is a good bright yellow, a shade 
or two deeper than Ceylon Court and the 
stems are good and strong. The stock 
shows a little variation in height and 
shade, but you can expect satisfactorily 
true results. Seed ready in June—Origi¬ 
nator’s packets $2.00. 
Marion White 
The New White Snapdragon. This grand 
new variety is being introduced by Ed¬ 
ward Schumann, who has many fine 
Snapdragons to his credit. Mr. Schumann 
considers Marion White superior to his 
other fine white Lucky Strike, in that 
it is a purer white, it flowers closer and 
has smaller foliage, allowing closer plant¬ 
ing, or more flowers per square foot of 
bench. It is a real pure white with extra 
large flower spikes on sturdy stems. 
Marion White took the Gold Medal at the 
Cincinnati Flower Show. Originator’s 
IT. I’kts. $2.00.
