New Tall Giant 
Snapdragon

The most rugged and most rust re¬ 
sistant of all snapdragons. Plants 
are base branching, 26 in. tall, with 
many unusually thick, erect, rod¬ 
like spikes of large, bright golden 
yellow flowers, the edges of which 
are delicately waved and crinkled. 
So stiff and strong are the spikes 
that they seldom require staking. 
Many flowers are open at one time. 
The foliage is luxuriant, broad, of 
a deeper green color than other snap¬ 
dragons, and highly resistant to 
rust. Very desirable for garden use 
as well as for cutting. Pkt. 250;

Burpee’s Special Mixture of African Marigolds 
2168 Burpee’s Special Mixture 
of African Marigolds 
Remarkable for its wide color range and extremely high percent¬ 
age of tully double flowers. Colors run from the deepest orange 
through varying and unusual tones of golden orange, golden, 
golden yellow, lemon-yellow, buff-yellow to lightest primrose. 
Flowers are of many shapes, some ball, some chrysanthemum-like, 
but mostly of the carnation and peony-flowered forms. They 
are large, many 5 in. across, with the average somewhat over 
4 in. The plants grow from 2to 3 ft. tall; some begin to 
bloom early, some midseason and others late, which makes for a 
long flowering season. Where a gay mixture of yellow and orange 
flowers is desired, whether for garden display or cutting, Burpee’s 
Special Mixture is unsurpassed.
