844. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Mixed. (Rust-

producing a strain of rust-proof Antirrhinum and this new mixture 
has been named after that university. 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 proof Snapdragons
