New Rust Proof Strain 
More good news! Thanks to the skill and untiring efforts 
of trained plant breeders, we not only have the Wilt Resistant 
Asters but also Bust Proof Snapdragons. 
We can now sow seed of this popular flower with assur¬ 
ance that the plants will survive, flourish, and reward us with 
their lovely blooms, even though we may have had to forego 
these flowers in recent years, due to a disease known as rust. 
In some localities and during some seasons this rust has 
been a serious problem, often ruining the entire bed of Snap¬ 
dragons. Seems too good to be true that now we have this 
special strain from which 75% or more of the plants will 
withstand the severest attack of rust. 
In a few years plant breeders will develop rust proof 
strains of Snapdragons in all types and colors. So far the 
best work seems to have been done with mixed colors, known 
as UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA MIXTURE, so named be¬ 
cause developed at Davis, California, by the California Agri¬ 
cultural College plant specialists, cooperating with best talent 
from some of the large flower seed commercial growers. Pkt. 
20c; 3 pkts. for 50c.

Acroclinlum New I»arge Flowered Double 
Hybrids 
ACROCLINIUM 
"Everlasting Flower” 
New Annual Large-flowered 
Double Hybrids 
It is a gala occasion when the florist dis¬ 
covers a flower variety, entirely new and 
different, which sells on sight. Such a vari¬ 
ety is this new Acroclinium, so greatly im¬ 
proved over the old variety that they can 
scarcely be recognized as members of the 
same family. 
They are free summer-flowering plants 
for garden decoration; the flowers dry as 
“Everlastings” for winter bouquets. They 
are also grown as pot plants for market. 
In full bloom the plants are striking and 
effective. Very showy in garden. Easy to 
grow. 
The double flowers are extremely large, 
at least twice the size of the ordinary 
strain, on 12 to 18-inch stems, which are 
borne freely over a long flowering period. 
The range of color is most remarkable, be¬ 
ing especially rich in shades of salmon, 
apricot, pink, rose and cerise, with white 
and creamy tones to balance up the pastel 
mixture. While some of the flowers have 
a light eye, the majority are enhanced by 
a boldly contrasting dark center. Largely 
double, some come semi-double. Pkt. 15c; 
Vs oz. 40c; V 2 oz. 75c.
