FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS" 
SNAPDRAGONS 
“THE most serious enemy of outdoor or summer Snapdragons is rust. 
* With this overcome in the new Rust-Proof strains to the extent 
of 80 to 90 per cent, outdoor Snaps for summer cutting should very 
much interest the retail grower. Also note that some of the follow¬ 
ing list are quite dwarf, giving them value for bedding. However, 
some of the finest bedding varieties noted in Florida the past season 
were of the tall Maximums. The Half Tall kind, especially the Ma¬ 
jestic class, are quite ideal for bedding purposes. In the north. Snaps 
will draw up a better stem and with cleaner flowers if protected from 
the hot sun and wind with a cloth house, and, of course, they must 
be watered. 
New Rust-Proof Snapdragons 
The new rust-resistant varieties have been produced through 
crossing the standard kinds with more original, and entirely rust¬ 
proof strains. Much crossing and recrossing was necessary to accom¬ 
plish this valuable work. While these strains are almost 1 00% rust¬ 
proof under conditions that destroy the old strains, they cannot be 
expected to be 100% true to color, but they are 80% to 90% so. 
Rust-Resistant type as grown in California 
shows the possibilities of Snapdragons for out¬ 
door growing. We hove noted these varieties 
wintered over outdoors about Philadelphia with 
the protection of straw covering. 
Majestic Dainty. Soft rose-pink with flowers closely placed on 
fairly long spikes. Early, but not winter-flowering, and one 
of the best. 
Tr. pkt., 75e; 1/16 oz, $1.25; Vs oz., $2.25; Va oz., $4.00. 
Majestic Silver Pink. Fairly deep rose-pink with a white blotch 
on lower lip. Similar color to the old forcing Silver Pink. 
Another early flowering kind and valuable for summer 
cutting. 
Tr. pkt., 75c; 1/16 oz., $1.25; Vs oz., $2.25; Va oz., $4.00. 
Daffodil—Maximum Type. A two-toned yellow, with a bicolor 
effect that gives it attractive value as a yellow, particularly 
for summer cutting because of its fine long stems. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; Vs oz., $1.25; Va oz., $2.00. 
Wallflower Red. A large-flowered, long-stemmed, clear wall¬ 
flower soft red, somewhat original in Snapdragons. Our 
field report on this reads "Extra fine soft cut flower color." 
Tr. pkt., 50c; Vs oz., $1.25; Va oz., $2.00.
