without first thoroughly saturating the soil with hot 
water at about 200 degrees. Try it. 
Rust-Resistant SNAPDRAGONS 
After carefully looking over what has been done in this line in California, we feel convinced of the rust re¬ 
sistance under unfavorable conditions of the strains offered. The tall kinds are valuable for summer cutting, 
especially under cloth. Much favorable publicity is being given these strains which will create demand for 
young stock, especially for bedding. For this purpose select the more dwarf varieties. Height will vary with 
growing conditions. Will probably be slight color variations in most varieties. Following we consider the sea¬ 
son's best rust-resistant varieties.
