FORCING SNAPDRAGONS 
Seed of all varieties we offer, excepting new ones from other 
growers, are grown by ns in onr greenhouses. Furthermore, stock 
seed of all varieties is from carefully made single plant selections. 
Every lot of every variety for seed consists of 2—4, sometimes 
more, selections. Thru this costly work we maintain the highest 
possible standard of excellence. We are glad to say too that our 
seed crop of last Spring was, with few exceptions, a fairly good 
one. This places us in a favorable position to care for your re¬ 
quirements in this line. However, we suggest assuring your supply 
early. 
FOR GROWING OUTDOORS 
We find the forcing or early class best for this purpose, espe¬ 
cially if the strong growing kinds are used. Not only are they 
1-2 weeks earlier flowering than most of the late or original class, 
but the colors are much more complete and more uniform. How¬ 
ever, the original or resistant strains should be used for outdoor 
work where rust prevails, for tlie forcing kind have little or no 
resistance to this rust. For outdoor work in our latitude we find 
that a February 1 sowing grown on cool as possible in 3—4 inch 
pots and planted out in May under cloth will produce excellent 
flowers by late June and more or less thru the Summer. For early 
Winter flowering under glass, most sowings are made in June.
