SNAPDRAGON 
Harris’ Colossals 
Illustrated in color on page 44. 
It is no exaggeration to say that these snap- 
dragons have the huskiest growth, longest 
stems, largest and finest flowers and earliest 
bloom of any on the market today. They bloom 
continuously through adverse conditions and 
everyone who sees the plantings for our seed 
crop compares them favorably with green- 
house 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 con- 
tains white, shades of pink, orchid, yellow, 
crimson and orange. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 4 Oz. 80c; 14 Oz.

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.

Petunia Plants are. (See page 59.) Mixed 
Colors only.

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

Tetra Snapdragons 
5040—Giant Ruffled Tetraploid Mixed 
Colors. A new development in which the 
chromosomes have been doubled, resulting in 
very large ruffled florets, tall stems and rich 
green foliage. The mixture contains a wide 
range of snapdragon colors. A fine new 
flower for those areas in which snapdragons 
are readily grown. (Not “Rust Resistant’’.)

SCHIZANTHUS 
(Poor Man’s Orchid) 
4635—Dr. Badger’s Hybrids. In sections 
where the summers are not too hot and dry 
and in soil that is not rich, this ‘‘Poor Man’s 
Orchid” is very satisfactory, both for garden 
effect and cut flowers. The plants, having 
fine-cut fernlike leaves are covered with 
small orchid-like flowers in shades of lav- 
ender, purple, pink and white with throat 
markings of deeper tones and of chocolate 
brown. Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 14 Oz. $1.00.

SNOW-ON-THE-MOUNTAIN

two foot annual is grown primarily for its

STOCKS 
**Sure to Bloom”’ 
Just imagine! Stocks actually flowering all 
summer from seed sown outdoors about May 
15th. As the summer advances, the flowers are 
more plentiful and the stems longer. The plants 
are of branching habit, eventually growing to 
about 18 inches high, with a large percentage of 
large, double flowers. The rich spicy fragrance, 
clear colors and long lasting quality of the 
blooms make them ideal cut flowers. For the 
best results sow stocks in rather poor soil, and 
in full sunlight.

especially made up of equal amounts of all 
the colors named.
