FOUNDER OF OUR COMPANY 
842. MR. L. L. OLDS. (Rustproof.) H. A. Over 
a half century ago Mr. L. L. Olds founded this company 
which bears his name. As a tribute to ham on the 50th 
anniversary of the company, we selected the most beau¬ 
tiful flower of that season and named it in his honor. 
It is a radiant and brilliant yellow flower. By comparison, 
it is the brightest yellow Snapdragon so far introduced. 
The huge florets are beautifully spaced on long strong 
stems. The robust rustproof plants are of the majus grandi- 
flora type which grow about two and one-half feet tall. We 
highly recommend this variety both to the florists and the 
gardeners. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Vi oz., 80c; */ 2 oz.,
