Of the Snapdragons, the new variety. Glorious, orig¬ 
inated by H. R. Frank of Columbia City, Ind., is out¬ 
standing and should be a good retail and market 
item. It is a beautiful flame orange with strong 
growth and clean foliage. White Wonder, the variety 
originated by Mr. Bezdek of Wilmette, 111., also 
showed up as one of the finest whites. The trade is 
indebted to the enterprising growers producing these 
fine varieties. 
GREENHOUSE 
In growing Snapdragon seed, always bear 
in mind that failure in germination usually 
results either from covering the seeds too 
thickly with soil, or allowing the flats to dry 
out while germination is under way, or not 
applying sufficient shade up to the time the 
seedlings appear. With ordinary care, Snap¬ 
dragon seed will germinate freely if covered 
GROWN SEED 
but lightly, the surface of the flats being kept 
moist and dark. One way to do this is to keep 
the soil surface about 1 inch below the edge 
of the flats. Then lay three or four pieces of 
lath across the top of the flats. On this you 
should place burlap. If kept wet, this will pro¬ 
vide the required shade as well as keep the 
surface moist.
