SOMERSET’S 
Snaps for Greenhouse Forcing 
ORIGINATOR’S STRAINS 
Modern varieties have really “snapped” this flower back into popularity. There are few flowers that are as profitable for 
the greenhouse grower. With proper selection of varieties and variation of sowing dates, it is possible to have flowers 
almost the entire year. There is a good market in June and July, especially for white, that is not now being adequately 
supplied. 
of Christmas Cheer. 
THE HYBRIDS 
Uniform, free flowering, hybrid vigor, all go to making an article that is profitable to grow. 
Because of the extra vigor, it is best to be careful that you do not overfeed.

favorite Ethel. We consider it one of the best yellows.

KATHLEEN 
New all year variety. Color is similar to Mary Ellen but we consider it better in 
all other respects. The remarkable feature is that it can be flowered during the 
summer months when other varieties will not produce good blooms. This in no 
way effects its winter flowering habit. Summer snaps are a profitable and worth 
while crop and with this variety, you can get a good cut in August which will 
be followed by another good cut in late November. (Ready June 1) 
Sunglow. This was the first bronze hybrid. It has been under test for several years and 
we think highly of it. The color is a golden bronze shade, and it breaks freely and 
flowers early and throughout the winter. 
Prices any of the above hybrid Snapdragons, unless noted — 2 Pkt. $1.75; Pkt. $3.00
