Burpee’s Double SNAPDRAGONS 
ORIGINATED ON BURPEE’S 
FLORADALE SEED FARMS 







































The first giant, alldouble snapdragons ever grown from seed. Flowers are 
spectacular, not only for size but for their unusual and amazing formation. 
Individual flowers are quite large, 134 in. across and 1% in. deep when 
well grown. The upper lip broadens and recurves grace ully. From the 
rounded portion of the lower lip there is a protruding flare which is slightly 
frilled. Between the lips, extending out from the throat, are several small, 
wavy accessory petals which add grace, charm and refinement, as well as 1608

Shown in color on inside front cover 
In addition to a new and 
pleasingly different form, the 
flowers are of a rich, deep 
golden yellow color through- 
out, except for the back of the 
buds which are flushed rose- 
pink. When fully open, the pink 
coloring disappears entirely. 
The central spike grows about 
28 in. tall and flowers first, fol- 
lowed by many lateral branches 
which arise from the main stem 
close to the ground. All the lat- 
eral stems bloom at one time so 
that the plants produce a great 
mass of color in beds or borders. 
Besides being valuable for gar- 
den effect, Burpee Double Snap- 
dragons are unsurpassed for 
cutting. In some of the flowers, 
there is a delicate, spicy fragrance.

New for 1948. Flower formation is similar to 
Burpee Double, perhaps more double and sev- 
eral shades lighter in color,—a clear, soft Dres- 
den yellow. On the unopened buds there is a 
pale rosy blush which disappears as soon as they 
open. Flowers are fully double, with many open é 
at one time and closely placed on strong, stiff 
spikes: Wonderful for cutting and garden use. 
A novelty of exceptional merit. 2% ft. tall.

New Type of Single Snapdragons 
1525 Burpee’s Fairy Rose is the result of 
treating aspecial selection of snapdragonswithcolchi¢ine, 
but unlike our Tetra’ Snaps (listed on page 12) the 
flowers are smaller and more sprightly, stems slender 
with more of them produced on a plant. It has great 
appeal for garden use and cutting, especially where a 
light, airy, graceful effect is desired. 
Plants, at first, are bushy and compact, but later 
spread 16 to 30 in. across depending on soil and climate 
thus producing numerous, erect spikes, 2 ft. tall, studded 
with slim, crisp flowers, 2 in. long and 1 in. across at the 
flare of lower lip, The general color of the Standard is 
rose bengal; the rounded portion of the lower lip is 
sulphur-yellow which softly suffuses the standard and 
the flare of the lower lip to create a delicate shade of 
apricot. Distinct new beauty in color and form.
