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. 
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.

hybrid.

Priscilla Ann. New early velvety crimson by the introducer of Christina and Mary Ellen. 
Gold Mine. A rich sparkling yellow, much superior in flower, stem and production to the 
old favorite Ethel. We consider it one of the best yellows. 
Gold Rush. Quite similar to the above, except that it is several shades lighter in color. 
Red Wing. Deep velvety red with true hybrid vigor.

flowers early and throughout the winter.
