1952 INTRODUCTIONS 
The following four Snaps represent the latest additions to our steadily 
growing family of Forcing Hybrids. Each one has been tried out under 
a wide variety of growing conditions, both in 
our own greenhouses and those of many prom- 
inent Snap growers thruout the country. Only 
when the majority of reports are favorable 
is a variety ready for general release. These 
four have been chosen from several dozen. 
Better try them. 
@ Hercules (Ball Hyb. No. 21—New, for- 
merly Exp. Hyb. No. 78X). Pictured at left. 
Excellent long-stemmed, light pink. 
@ Lavender Lady (Ball Hyb. No. 71—New, 
formerly Exp. Hyb. No. 95X). Pictured at 
left. We predict this variety will put laven- 
der Snaps “back in business.” See descrip- 
tion under cut. 
@ Pink Ice (Ball Hyb. No. 31—New, former- 
ly Exp. Hyb. No. 77X). Bright medium 
rose—extra large florets. 
@ Rosy Dawn (Ball Hyb. No. 41—New, for- 
merly Exp. Hyb. No. 34X). Deep rose. 
Many favorable reports received from 
trial growers of this variety last season. 
For late winter and spring.
