"Flower Seeds for Florists

BALL WINTER SNAPS 
Much of this half hardy crop is fall sown in the South. The 
forcing kind are generally preferred because of their better colors, 
and earlier flowering habit. 
A late September sowing by Northern growers will make young 
stock for use after mums in November and December. 
Also—a February sowing will make strong 3-4 in. pot plants to 
plant in a cloth house. Growing our own snapdragon seed is one 
of our important specialties and we have good supplies of all 
varieties and all have been tested. 
Following is a selected list of Winter Flowering varieties for 
after-Mum and later planting.
