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.
