FOR GENERAL LIST OF FLOWER SEEDS SEE PAGES 6 TO 32 
RUST-PROOF ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) 
After years of intensive work in an attempt to produce a strain of rust-proof Antirrhinums, we are glad to announce that the above 
has been achieved. This strain has proved excellent under extensively wet outdoor conditions; they have stood the tests and are better 
than 75% rust-proof. For growing outdoors for cutting or bedding, they will prove excellent; we 
hope in the near future to have a strain suitable for forcing under glass. 
The following four varieties are 1936 introductions and are of the maximum type and make 
ideal subjects for cutting. Each plant produces from 15 to 18 spikes, which are non-lateral, with 
flower heads 10 to 14 inches long; they are of vigorous growth with broad, dark green foliage and 
are practically immune from rust.
