The New Rustproof Antirrhinum 
ANNUAL 
Realizing the seriousness of this disease among Snapdragons in many sections 
of the country, the University of California, in collaboration with several of the 
plant-hybridizers in California, has evolved a new strain which can be depended 
on to produce 75 per cent rustproof plants. These strains have been subjected to 
the severest test for three successive years and have proved themselves better 
than 75 per cent rustproof. 
So Far We Can Offer the Following Rustproof Varieties: 
MOUNT SHASTA. 2 ft. Pure white, of the giant-flowering type, throwing
