Flower Seeds for Florists” 
Grow Getter Suape 
FORCING SNAPS unquestionably head the list of seed grown cut 
flower crops and, as growers ourselves, we are in a position to fully 
realize the importance of this in developing strains of real florist 
value. All Snapdragon seed we sell, except those varieties listed as 
“Originator’s packets,’’ is produced in our own greenhouses, and sup- 
plies were never so good or complete as they are today. Remember 
though—good culture is as important as good seed. Our “Grower 
Talks’’ (monthly, 2 yrs. 75c) provides timely tips of real value to 
florists. 
makers those hybrid Snaps 
are—well, here’s a new one 
that’s “‘really something’’— 
DORCAS JANE. 
It’s a true early with fine 
spikes of soft, silvery rose 
carried on long, strong stems 
—the kind that produces top 
quality flowers in Dec. and 
Jan. when good Snaps are 
scarce and prices are at 
their best. Tr. pkt. (full

HYBRID SNAP NOTICE 
Seed production of the following originator-grown hybrid Snaps 
has fallen short of the demand the last few years. Therefore, 
in fairness to all, supplies of these varieties may oblige us to re- 
strict their sale to a limited number of packets per customer. 
Christmas Cheer. Extra early rose-pink. 
Better Times. American Beauty rose. Tr. pkt., $2.00.

OUR TWELVE BEST 
(For Mid-Winter) 
Although we realize that no group of ‘‘best’’ va- 
rieties is complete without including the hybrids 
mentioned above, uncertain supplies have obliged 
us to omit them. The following list, therefore, in- 
cludes what we consider the twelve best of those 
varieties which are available in good supply. 
Afterglow. This continues to be one of the most 
satisfactory all-around orange bronze varieties, 
especially for late winter and spring. Tr. pkt., 
$1.00. 
Ball Lavender. Long stemmed and strong growing 
with long heavy spikes of pleasing orchid laven- 
der. A ready seller on most markets. Tr. pkt., 
$1.50. 
Cheviot Maid No. 33 (Yoder). This clean growing, 
beautiful light rose pink Cheviot Maid selection 
has proven immensely popular with all who have 
grown it. One of the best commercial varieties. 
digwokt. soie50: 
Dorcas Jane. See box above. 2 Tr. pkt., $1.50; 
Tr. pkt. (2000 seeds), $2.50. 
Ethel. The most satisfactory fairly deep yellow that 
we know of. Perfectly uniform in habit without 
grassy side growth and with medium sized closely 
set spikes. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Mary Ellen. One of the first hybrid Snapdragon 
varieties and popular wherever grown today. Al- 
most identical to Maryland Pink in its soft rose 
pink coloring but with longer stems and flower 
spikes. We have a good supply of the origina- 
tor’s seed on hand for immediate shipment. Tr. 
pkt., $2.00. 
Klondike Supreme. A strong growing, large flow- 
ered, deep yellow which we find preferable to 
Coates Yellow because of its darker green fol- 
iage. Choice for late winter. Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
Lady Dorothy. This fine new Snap is outstanding 
for its rich reddish bronze color and its true 
winter flowering habit. The best early bronze to — 
date. Tr. pkt., $3.00. 
New Cincinnati. A medium rose pink with long 
shatter-proof spikes and extra long, stiff stems. 
We feel that this variety is one of the best for 
late winter and should be more widely grown. 
Niteepkte1$ 1-00: 
Peggy Schumann. Extra fine, creamy rose pink 
with heavy stiff stems and well formed spikes. 
This truly fine variety is steadily increasing in 
popularity. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
St. Louis Early Pink. If you’re looking for that 
popular Maryland Pink or Mary Ellen color for 
late winter flowering, this is it. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
White Wonder Improved (Ball). Our own uni- 
formly long stemmed, even growing strain of this 
pure white variety. A few days later than 
Koester’s White, but considerably stronger in 
growth. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Ball Forcing Mixture. Carefully balanced mixture 
of these 12 best varieties. Tr. pkt., $1.00.
