ANTIRRHINUIVI, RUSTPROOF, CHEVIOT MAID SUPREME. We are 
proud to introduce this splendid new Snapdragon, which we believe to be the 
first rustproof sort in the forcing type. The color is a rich coral-rose, and the 
large, non-shattering florets are closely set on heavy spikes with good, wiry stems. 
This variety will prove equally good for outdoor cut-flowers as well as green¬ 
house forcing. See color illustration on fourth cover. Trade pkt. 75c.; $ 2.00

exquisite blending of many delightful shades and color combinations, ranging 
from pale cream to deep orange. The flowers are of various types and forms,

Snapdragon, Antique Gold 
Rustproof Antirrhinum * Snapdragon 
This strain has proved excellent under extensively wet outdoor conditions. They 
have stood the tests and are better than 75 per cent rustproof. For growing outdoors 
for cutting or bedding, they will prove excellent. Each plant produces from 15 to 18

growth with broad, dark green foliage practically immune from rust.
