OLDS* ANTIRRHINUMS (SNAPDRAGONS) 
844. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Mixed. (Rust-Proof.) H. A. In the 
last few years many flower growers and gardeners had to give up the growing 
of Antirrhinums (Snapdragons) due to the severe damages caused by rust. Tlie 
University of California was very active in producing a strain of rust-proof An¬ 
tirrhinum and this new mixture has been named after that university. In the trial 
this year over 75% of the plants were rust-proof. The University of California 
Mi.xture contains practically all the colors to be found in Snapdragons and we
