MISCELLANEOUS VARIETIES 
CHINESE GIANT 
Single Dazzler. From Hurst & Son, seed merchants and growers of 
London, England, comes a "really startling novelty in flower seeds." 
It is a Chinese Primrose (Primula Sinensis Fimbriata) which the firm 
has named Dazzler in recognition of its striking and unusual color; 
"orange red," as seen in the setting sun, is suggested as the only term 
that accurately describes it. It is claimed that a well-grown specimen 
will carry well over 20, flowers open at one time. Tr. Pkt.50c 
Double Dazzler. Same color as above, with double flowers.

Excerpt from Florists’ Exchange, Issue of Marcli 29. 1941 
NEW SNAPDRAGON “HODALY’S AMERICA” 
J. Hodaly, Melrose Park, Ill., favors us with about a dozen spikes of his new Snapdragon, Hodaly's America, and we have no hesitation 
in saying that this novelty stands among the leaders as a commercial variety. The color is brilliant rose pink with yellow lip. The flowers 
are large, evenly placed all around the stem, and neither too widely spaced nor crowded. 
The flowers were shipped by air express and reached the FE office at closing time, so we prevailed upon a neighborhood butcher to place 
the box in his cooler until the following morning. After an hour in water the flowers were in perfect condition. The variety is apparently not 
given to dropping, as some hours after being in water, not a single flower had fallen.
