Rust-Proof Snapdragons. 
OLDS’ SNAPDRAGONS 
844. UNIVERSITY OF CALI¬ 
FORNIA. (Rust Proof.) H. A. 
In the last few years many flower 
growers and gardeners had to 
give up the growing of Antir- 
rhiniums (Snapdragons) due to the 
severe damages caused by rust. The 
University of California was very ac¬ 
tive in producing a strain of rust¬ 
proof Antirrhinium and this new mix¬ 
ture has been named after that uni¬ 
versity. In the trial this year over 
75% of the plants were rust proof. 
The University of California Mixture 
contains practically all the colors to 
be found in Snapdragons and we are 
very proud to offer this most excellent 
mixture of rust-pfloof Snapdragon to 
our customers. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts.,

dragons were a feature of the old-

summer and fall. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts.,
