Harris’ 
SNAPDRAGONS 
Each year we plant most of the Snapdragons, available today, in our Trial Grounds 
to compare their height, size of bloom, color and general performance under our 
Northeastern weather conditions. From these we have selected the following as 
being the best that are being offered today. You can plant Harris’ Snapdragons with 
HARRIS’ COLOSSALS 
Illustrated in color on page 41. 
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 continu- 
ously through adverse conditions and everyone 
who sees the plantings 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

pink, orchid, yellow, crimson and orange.

VELVET GIANT 
5039—An unusually vigorous growing Snap- 
dragon that produces from 6 to 12 tall well 
filled spikes of very large blooms. The deep 
crimson color is high-lighted with overtones of 
orange-scarlet. Foliage is a rich dark green. We 
have found it to be just as sturdy as our 
Colossals and can recommend it for bedding 
effects and cut flowers in areas where Snap- 
dragons are difficult to grow.

the assurance that they will give you complete satisfaction. 
HALF-TALL SNAPDRAGONS 
5115—New Color Mixture. These grow only 18 to 
24 inches tall, so are adapted for outdoor summer 
bedding because they flower so freely and con- 
tinuously. Since they lend themselves to mass 
planting we have chosen colors that will blend well.

TETRA SNAPDRAGONS

tains a wide range of snapdragon colors. A fine new 
flower for those areas in which snapdragons are 
readily grown. (Not ‘“‘Rust Resistant’’.)

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,
