Winter Flowering Snapdragons 
Our seed of all Forcing Varieties, except Novelties, is produced by us in our greenhouses. We find it 
necessary to do this to insure trueness to color A flowering test has been made of every lot of Snap¬ 
dragon seed we send out (except Novelties). We, of course, keep close check on germination, and we 
guarantee our trade packets to produce 500 to 1,000 seedlings if sown and looked after with reasonable 
care. The production of Snapdragon seed is one of our leading specialities. Every lot is well separated 
from every other. 
In Sowing. Our germination tests of this fine seed are made on a mixture of sterile sand and fine 
peat moss. These materials are free of rot that frequently destroys seed. We use no covering. Light 
overhead spraying will splash the seed into the soil enough to germinate it if closely protected from 
draughts. As the seed sprouts, expose to air and light or it will soon damp off, especially in hot weather. 
Sow Early. If wanted for early fall flowering, May or early June sowing is best. Also, during these 
months seed germination is much more certain than under summer conditions.
