SKYSCRAPER 
An outstanding new race of 
outdoor Snapdragons with 
vigor, stiffness of stem and 
flower spikes that closely ap- 
proach greenhouse forcing va- 
rieties in cut flower quality. 
We were much impressed with 
Skyscraper in our outdoor tri- 
als this past summer, and 
feel that any grower who can 
give them one set of wire and 
string supports, and some pro- 
tection from heavy winds, will 
be well repaid in fine cut 
flowers for the little time re- 
quired. Colors are pastel 
shades of ivory, yellow and 
pink. Tr. pkt., 50¢; 146 02z., 
90c; % oz, $1.60; %4 oz., 
$2.90.

Note the unusual stem length 
and good flower spikes on these 
specimens of Skyscraper being 
examined by our Arne Knutsson. 
Plants were grown without sup- 
port in beds on our office lawn.

TETRAPLOID 
@Giant Ruffled “Tetra.” “Tetraploid” is rapidly becoming 
a magic word in bedding Snaps. Several customers have 
written in saying that since they offered “Tetras” to their 
trade many of their customers have gone over to them en- 
tirely for bedding use. They are not yet! available in com- 
plete separate colors, but the mixture contains an excellent 
array. Tr. pkt., 50c; 146 0z., 90e; % oz., $1.60; 14 oz., 
$2.90. 
We feel that many growers could do better than offer their cus- 
tomers the usual lot of “mixed outdoor Snaps” for their spring 
bedding needs. Especially attractive and valuable for bedding are 
the Nanum Grandiflorum varieties. All are dwarf, bushy growing 
sorts, without the tendency to “flop” and sprawl that most Snaps 
have unless supported. They’re quite free flowering, too, and do 
well in most areas. Most of the other classes have definite summer 
cut flower value if a few simple requirements are met. Sow early 
(February in most localities) so that well started plants in pots 
or bands are ready to plant out as soon as frost danger is past. 
Wire and string supports and protection from winds are a necessity 
if crooked, worthless stems are to be avoided.
