STANDARD WINTER SNAPS (Except 12 Best) 
Realizing the importance to many growers of selecting true winter 
flowering varieties, we are marking each variety as to whether it is 
suitable for a Christmas crop to be cleared from the bench by late 
February from a June sowing, or whether it is more suitable for 
spring flowering. Some growers get these so called "Spring 
Flowering” varieties in for Christmas by sowing in May and hard¬ 
ening growth before winter. The selections are based on our own 
annual winter flowering greenhouse trials. Winter flowering sorts 
are marked “W” ; Spring flowering, “S.”

Unless conditions are exceptionally unfavorable—much rain or 
fog, the following select list will be found nearly 100% rust-resis¬ 
tant. Where winters are open or mild, they might prove of more 
value than the forcing kind. They will not be quite so early or 
true to color, but, besides their resistance to rust, the growth is 
more vigorous. Their principal value in the north is for outdoor 
summer flowering.
