SPECIAL NOTE! 
If you merchandise small plants to the public for garden plant¬ 
ing, don't fail to include the three new "Malmaison" Snapdragons 
listed above. We are sure that they will make friends for you 
when blooming period comes around. 
These strains have been produced through crossing the late- 
flowering kinds with original and entirely rust-proof strains. 
They are almost 100 per cent rust-proof under conditions that com¬ 
pletely rust destroy the regular kinds. They are not quite so true to 
color as are the regular class, but very nearly so. We strongly 
recommend them. (See Novelties and inside of back cover.) 
(Not Winter-Flowering or Rust-Resistant) 
MAJESTICS 
An extra large-flowered class of fairly compact growth. Fine 
for spring flowering if started early enough to draw up the stems.
