ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) ANTIRRHINUM NANUM 
RUST PROOF VARIETIES SEMI-DWARF (Novelties) 
Rust Proof Antirrhinum 
We are pleased to offer 
this strain which has proved 
excellent under extensively 
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 out of doors or cut¬ 
ting or bedding, they will 
prove excellent and 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 
Antirrhinums one of the 
most popular flowers in 
America.

1936 ALL AMERICA WINNERS (Hurst) 
Royal Rose. Royal Rose is truly a regal variety. The color is 
almost impossible to describe and must be seen to be appreciated, 
for even to say that it is the deepest and richest rose imaginable 
does not do it justice; the tone and velvety sheen reminds one 
of the texture of the rose. The spike is dense with the individual 
flowers placed closely together. Pkt., 25c. 
St. George. The color of St. George is orange cerise, but of a 
new shade, which makes it absolutely distinct from all other

placed closely together, making a perfectly charming and colorful 
effect. Pkt., 25c.
