RUST-PROOF 
ANTIRRHINUM 
(SNAPDRAGON) 
(Waller-Franklin, 
75% Rust-Proof) 
AMERICAN CERTIFICATE 
HONOR WINNER 
OF 
After years of intensive work in an 
attempt to produce a strain of rust-proof 
Antirrhinums, we are glad to announce 
that the above has been achieved. We 
are pleased to offer to the grower for the 
first time two separate varieties and a 
wonderful mixture, which was originated 
by the University of California. This 
strain has proved excellent under ex¬ 
tensively wet outdoor conditions; they 
have stood the tests and are better than 
75% rust-proof. It is a joy to see these 
plants with their clean healthy foliage 
free from rust. For growing outdoors, 
for cutting or bedding, they will prove 
excellent; we hope in the near future to 
have a strain suitable for forcing under 
glass. We predict that the introduction 
of this rust-proof strain will make Antir¬ 
rhinums one of the most popular flowers 
in America.
