ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon) 
(Greenhouse Grown Seed) 
The following are the season's best new introductions: 
"Klondike Supreme." This yellow is the deepest com¬ 
mercial yellow that we know of, and it is an early and 
continuous bloomer; June sowing of seed, pinched 
twice, once in the seed flat and once in the bed; 
"Klondike Supreme" usually starts to bloom the first 
of November, increasing in production so that by the 
middle of December they are in full bloom. Highly 
recommended. Tr. Pkt.$2.00 
"Marie Louise." Beautiful sea-shell pink color, an 
entirely new shade in winter-blooming Snapdragons, 
with the beautiful coloring continuing throughout the 
season. "Marie Louise" is a good mixer, combining 
well with other flowers. "Marie Louise" is strong and 
free-branching, producing long, strong stems with 
compact flower spikes; flowers are closely set around 
the stem and free from grassy growth. Very productive 
over a long season from fall to late spring, and very 
disease resistant. All seed from 1938 crop, fully 
ripened and matured, and of high germination. 
Tr. Pkt.$2.00 
Cheviot Supreme "Rose Pink". Combines intense pink 
color, medium size spikes, small foliage, and hard 
wiry stems with extremely early blooming and excel¬ 
lent keeping qualities; comes true, and is best from 
December to Valentine's Day. Tr. Pkt.$1.50 
"Glorious." Brilliant, bronzy scarlet, early and free- 
flowering; a really new and most desirable combina¬ 
tion of coloring; when shown at the Illinois Experi¬ 
ment Station, Urbana, Illinois, this new Snapdragon 
attracted no end of favorable comment from the 
numerous florists there. Highly recommended.

NEW SNAPDRAGON 
"GILBERT'S PINK QUEEN SUPREME" 
Here is a new Snapdragon that is truly 
desirable. Its beautiful pink color is several 
shades deeper than "Cheviot Maid Su¬ 
preme". Order this new variety, for it is 
attracting considerable attention wherever 
shown. Tr. Pkt.$2.00 
In sowing Snapdragon seed, always bear in mind that failure in 
germination usually results either from covering the seeds too 
thickly with soil, 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. Snapdragon seed will 
germinate freely if covered but lightly and the surface of the flats 
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 laths across the top of the flats on which place burlap. 
This, if kept wet, will provide the required shade as well as keep 
the surface moist.
