Each year we plant most of the Snapdragons, available today, in our Test Gardens 
to compare their height, size of bloom, color and general performance under our 
Northeastern weather conditions. From these we have selected the following as 
being the best that are being offered today. You can plant Harris’ Snapdragons with 
the assurance that they will give you complete satisfaction. 
SNAPDRAGONS 
Harris’ Colossals 
HARRIS’ COLOSSALS 
Illustrated in color on page 43. 
It is no exaggeration to say that these snapdragons 
have the huskiest growth, longest stems, largest and 
finest flowers and earliest bloom of any on the market 
today. They bloom continuously through adverse con- 
ditions and everyone who sees the plantings for our 
seed crop compares them favorably with greenhouse 
grown stock. They are not the so called “rust re- 
sistant’’ strain but there has never been any evidence 
of the disease on our plants. In fact, we feel that if 
they are planted in clean soil there is little danger 
of infection. 
5030—Colossal Mixture. We think this is the finest 
blending of colors available in these large flowering 
varieties. The mixture contains white, shades of pink, 
orchid, yellow, crimson and orange. 21% ft. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 4% Oz. $1.00; 144 Oz. $1.75. 
VELVET GIANT 
5039—An unusually vigorous growing Snapdragon 
that produces from 6 to 12 tall, well filled spikes of 
very large blooms. The deep crimson color is high- 
lighted with overtones of orange-scarlet. Foliage is a 
rich dark green. We have found it to be just as sturdy 
as our Colossals and can recommend it for bedding 
effects and cut flowers in areas where Snapdragons are 
difficult to grow. 21% ft. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 1 Oz. $1.40; 14 Oz. $2.50.

TETRA SNAPDRAGONS 
5040—Giant Ruffled Tetraploid Mixed Colors. A new 
development in which the chromosomes have been 
doubled, resulting in very large ruffled florets, tall 
stems and rich green foliage. The mixture contains a 
wide range of snapdragon colors. A fine new flower 
for those areas in which snapdragons are readily 
grown. 2 ft. (Not ‘“‘Rust Resistant’’.)

HALF-DWARF SNAPDRAGONS 
5115—New Color Mixture. These grow only 15 to 
18 inches tall, so are adapted for outdoor summer 
bedding because they flower so freely and con- 
tinuously. Since they lend themselves to mass 
planting we have chosen colors that will blend well.

fine for cutting all summer. 3 ft.

SCHIZANTHUS (Poor Man's Orchid) 
4635—Dr. Badger’s Hybrids. In sections where 
the summers are not too hot and dry and in 
soil that is not rich, this ‘‘Poor Man’s Orchid”’ 
is very satisfactory, both for garden effect and 
cut flowers. The plants, having fine-cut fernlike 
leaves, are covered with small orchid-like 
flowers in shades of lavender, purple, pink and 
white with throat markings of deeper tones and 
of chocolate brown. 18 in.

STOCKS 
‘‘Sure to Bloom” or Ten Weeks 
These stocks actually flower all summer 
from seed sown outdoors about May 15th. As 
the summer advances, the flowers are more 
plentiful and the stems longer. The plants are of 
branching habit, eventually growing to about 
15 inches high, with a large percentage of large, 
double flowers. The rich spicy fragrance, clear 
colors and long lasting quality of the blooms 
make them ideal cut flowers. Sow stocks in 
rather poor soil, and in full sunlight. 15 in.
