ANNUAL GARDEN and GREENHOUSE SEEDS 
THE NEW 
RUST PROOF SNAPDRAGONS 
Ever since the introduction of the Rust Proof 
Snapdragon, seedsmen have been waiting for separate 
colors and classes. Tremendous strides have been made 
and it is predicted that with the introduction of these 
new rust proof strains, the Snapdragon will be one of the 
most popular flowers in America. Many will no doubt be 
useful in the greenhouse and all of them will make good 
outdoor cut flowers. An ounce contains approximately 
150,000 seeds.
