SNAPDRAGON 
Harris’ Colossals 
Illustrated in color on page 43. 
It is no exaggeration to say that these snap- 
dragons have the huskiest growth, longest stems, 
largest and finest flowers of any on the market 
today. They bloom continuously through ad- 
verse conditions and everyone who sees the plant- 
ings for our seed crop compares them favorably 
with greenhouse grown stock. They are not the 
so called “rust resistant” strain but there has 
never been any evidence of the disease on our 
plants. In fact, we feel that if they are planted in 
clean soil there is little danger of infection. 
5030—Colossal Mixture. We think this is the 
finest blending of colors available in these 
large flowering varieties. The mixture contains 
white, shades of pink, yellow, crimson and 
orange. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 14 Oz. 80c; 14 Oz. $1.50. 
5039—Velvet Giant. This All-America winner 
for 1947 is a welcome addition to the colors 
available in the Colossals. The very large well 
formed florets are a vivid crimson with gold 
overtones and closely spaced on tall sturdy 
spikes. Foliage a rich dark green.

Half-tall Snapdragons 
These grow only 18 to 24 inches tall, so are 
adapted for outdoor summer bedding because 
they flower so freely and continuously. 
5115—New Color Mixture. Since they lend 
themselves to mass planting we have chosen 
colors that will blend well. (Rust Resistant.)

Tetra Snapdragons 
5040—Giant Ruffled Tetraploid Mixed Col-

somes have been doubled, resulting in very
