SNAPDRAGON 
NEWEST 
RUSTPROOF 
If you have found snap¬ 
dragons difficult to grow, 
rust is probably responsible. 
Rust is a widespread disease 
which discolors the leaves 
and saps the vitality. By de¬ 
veloping a strain of snap¬ 
dragons immune to rust, 
scientists of the University 
of California have restored 
this brilliant flower family 
to leadership as a garden 
subject. Growing the Rust¬ 
proof strain, difficulties dis¬ 
appear. Seeds germinate better, plants are more vigor¬ 
ous, the foliage clean, flowers large and of fine color 
and the flowering season prolonged.

inches tall, and blooms 2 to 2 y 2 inches across. These
