Burpee’s Double SNAPDRAGONS 








1610 : a 
Burpee Double First giant, alldouble snapdragons ever grown from seed. Flowers are | 
ver, ia spectacular, not only for size but-for their unusual and amazing formation. | 
2 phts. 656; They are quite large, 134 in. across and 1% in. deep when well grown. The 
3 phis. 90¢ upper lip broadens and recurves graceiully. 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 surprise, to an already 
handsome flower of unsurpassed quality. 
i610 BURPEE DOUBLE 
Flowers are rich, deep golden yellow throughout, except for the back of 
the buds which are flushed with rose-pink. When fully open, the pink color- 
ing disappears entirely. The central spike grows about 28 in. tall and flow- 
ers first, followed by many lateral branches which come from the main 
stem near the base of the plant. All the lateral stems bloom at one time so 
that the plants produce a great mass of color in beds or borders. Besides 
being valuable for garden effect, Burpee Double Snapdragon is unsur- 
passed for cutting. In some of the flowers, there is a delicate fragrance. 
Pkt. 35¢; 2 pkts. 65¢; 3 pkts. 90¢ 
1608 FLORADALE DOUBLE 
Formation of the flowers is similar to Burpee Double, perhaps more 
double and several shades lighter in color—a soft Dresden yellow. On the 
unopened buds, there is a pale rosy blush which disappears as soon as they 
open. Flowers are quite large, with many open at one time and closely 
placed on strong, stiff spikes. Wonderful for cutting and garden use. 2% ft. 
Pkt. 40¢; 2 pkts. 75¢; 3 pkts. $1.00 
1612 LEMONADE 
In addition to a new and pleasingly different form, the immense flowers 
are of a clear primrose-yellow and nicely placed on long, strong stems. The 
central spike grows 3 ft. tall and blooms ahead of the laterals, three to five 
of which arise from the main stems close to the ground. Frequently, the 
flower-spikes are more than half the height of the plants so that a planting 
attracts immediate attention. Lemonade is truly a wonderful double snap- 
dragon, either alone or with the others for cutting and garden decoration. 
Pkt. 50¢; 2 pkts. 95¢; 3 pkts. $1.25

SNAPDRAGONS or ANTIRRHINUMS 
These exquisite flowers have always been universal favorites for color in the 
garden, in the greenhouse during the winter, and as cut flowers. Of easiest culture, 
succeeding best in rich or moderately rich soil—in full sun or semi-shade. The 
gorgeous flowers are freely produced for several months, and until frost where con- 
ditions are favorable. Sow seeds outdoors when soil has become quite warm; for 
earlier blooms sow indoors six weeks before your regular outdoor planting time. 
Full cultural directions are printed on every packet. Best treated as annuals, 
although they are biennials in sections having mild winters.
