“SNAPS” for Greenhouse Forcing 
For years we have made a specialty of our varieties of 
“Snap” seeds and they have been enthusiastically recerved 
by the trade. For the convenience of our florist trade we have 
divided our list into Hybrids, early crop and main crop. Our 
trade packets contain approximately 2500 seeds; ortgimator’s 
packets vary considerably, from 1200 to 2000 seeds. Origina- 
tor’s packets are shown with the originator’s name in paren- 
theses. : oe
