FORCING VARIETIES 
FOR GROWING OUTDOORS. We find the forcing 
or early class excellent for this purpose, especially if 
the strong growing kinds are used. Not only are they 
earlier flowering than most of the Summer class but the 
colors are much more complete and more uniform. 
However, the original or resistant strains should be 
used for out-door work where rust prevails for the 
forcing kinds have less resistance. For out-door work 
in our latitude, we find that a February Ist sowing 
grown as cool as possible in 3 to 4 in. pots and planted 
out in May under cloth will produce excellent flowers 
by late June. 
PLEASE NOTE 
V6 tr. pkts. of any variety priced at $1.00 are supplied at 
60c; 14 pkts. of $1.50 varieties, $1.00. No 14 pkts. on $2.00 
or $3.00 varieties EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. While we 
obviously have no control over the amount of seed in 
originator’s packets, all of our own contain at least 2,000 
seeds. 

THOSE HYBRID SNAPS 
Hybrid Snaps are the result of crossing pure-line strains of two 
distinct varieties, and possess, among other good points, the in- 
herent quality known as “hybrid vigor’ not found in any open- 
pollinated variety. Because of their hybrid nature, it is very im- 
portant that no seed be saved from the flowering crop as it will 
result only in a disappointing mixture. Since only the originators 
of these varieties have knowledge of the parents used in producing 
them, seed from other sources is almost sure to prove unsatis- 
factory; therefore we offer only originator’s packets of hybrid 
varieties. Because the production of hybrid seed calls for much 
hand labor in cross-pollinating, the supply is often short of the 
demand. We offer the following varieties under the conditions 
noted:
