Through the interest of greenhouse 
growers, the color range, length of stem 
and trueness to color, as well as the 
value of greenhouse Snaps is increasing 
annually. And, if grown in clean soil, 
a raised bed, moisture carefully con¬ 
trolled, with all possible ventilation, 
little or no disease will worry the grow¬ 
er. But keep the young stock moving: 
the weakening effect of a check, as well 
as excess moisture, increases their sus¬ 
ceptibility to rust. While sowing dates 
will vary between the North and South, 
most of it is done in these sections be¬ 
tween early June and early July. 
The color of flowers portrayed 
accurately represents the very early 
Mary Ellen and the late St. Louis Pink. 
Under winter conditions. Both are 
splendid for cutting. 
Growing and supplying good forc¬ 
ing Snapdragon seed is one of our lead¬ 
ing specialties.
