IMPORTANT! All Snapdragon Seed which we supply for under-glass production has been produced in grelinhousjtJ, tJTliame 
and obtains lull strength. Vv e cannot recommend for greenhouse planting seed that has been harvested fiom out-door cultures, as 
we have found such not infrequently to be of doubtful quality insofar as cut-flower production is concerned.! a fl i ff M 1 ^

CYCLAMEN 
True Ferd. Fischer’s Giant-Flowering Strain 
Now accepted as “Standard” for American and 
Canadian Culture 
If interested in producing Cyclamen plants that qualify in 
every way, plant the true Ferd. Fischer Strain. Following is 
excerpt from The Florists’ Review, April 2, 1936, issue. “Ferd. 
Fischer, Wiesbaden-Aukamm, Germany, has been appointed an 
official authority on Cyclamen in Germany.” 
Mr. Fischer has a new variety of his own this season called 
Silvery Lilac Salmon, which, when exhibited, has received the 
highest honors; a prolific, early bloomer. Price per 100 $1.75. 
Per 1000 $15.00.
