1525 Burpee’s Fairy Rose is different from all other snapdragons—the flowers are 
smaller and more sprightly, stems slender wi 
th more of them produced on a plant. It has 
great appeal for garden use and cutting, especially where a light, airy, graceful effect is 
desired. Plants produce numerous erect spikes, 2 ft. tall, studded with slim, crisp flowers, 
2 in. long and 1 in. across at the flare of lower lip. The general color of the standard is rose 
bengal; the rounded portion of the lower lip is sulphur-yellow which softly suffuses the 
standard and the flare of the lower lip to create a delicate shade of apricot.
