Antirrhinum * Snapdragon 
SPECIAL FORCING VARIETIES 
Michell’s Naomi. 1939 Introduction 
This new Snapdragon is a brilliant rose-pink with a light touch of 
yellow on the upper lip. Its exquisite coloring is even more vivid under 
artificial lighting. Immense flower-heads, 18 to 24 inches long, carry 
75 and over, closely set, large, wide-open florets which measure over 
2 inches, making the spike truly a giant. Its stems are heavy and as 
strong as wire. The keeping qualities are excellent, the spikes lasting in 
good condition for over a week. We are proud to offer this splendid 
Snapdragon to our custo- 
Antirrhinum (Snapdragon)
