Burpee’s Double Snapdragons — 
The first giant, alldouble snapdragons ever grown from seed. Flowers are spectacular, not only for size but for 
their unusual and amazing formation. They are quite large, 134 in. deross and 1% in. deep when well grown. The 
upper lip broadens and recurves gracefully. 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 re- 
finement, as well as surprise, to an already handsome flower of quality.

New Type of Single Snapdragons 
1525 Burpee’s Fairy Rose is different from all 
other snapdragons—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 as well as form.
