BURPEE’S TETRA SNAPDRAGONS 
Giant Ruffled Tetraploid Snapdragons 
ALL ORIGINATED ON BURPEE’S FLORADALE FARMS 
Tetra snaps are a Burpee scientific creation, originated through the treat- 
ment of the best regular or diploid varieties with colchicine—a drug or chemical 
derived from the bulbs of fall crocus. Genetically, they are known as tetra- 
ploids, for, when examined under the microscope, they have twice the number 
of chromosomes in their cells as the regular or diploid snapdragons.

Burpee’s Giant Tetra Snapdragons are extremely large and attractively 
ruffled. Plants are exceptionally strong and husky, with glossy, dark green 
foliage, thick and almost leathery in texture; the stems are quite heavy. Under 
general field conditions the central spikes grow 2 ft. and more in height; these 
are surrounded by lateral spikes of lesser height. Plants are base branching so 
that long-stemmed flowers are assured for cutting; having good substance adds | 
to their keeping value. Wherever seen, they are sure to demand admiration. 
1561 Petra Candlelight Clear, bright yellow, nicely formed, well placed flowers 
are freely borne on strong, erect spikes. Particularly rich and beautiful. 
1563 Fetra Crimson Very large, deep but bright, velvety crimson flowers closely 
set on long, broad, tapering spikes above the dark green, thick textured foliage. 
1571 Petra Pink Shades Exquisite variations from pale shell-pink to deep rose. 
The tapering spikes are well filled with large, nicely formed, well placed flowers. 
1564 Tetra Shades of Rose Especially selected for those who prefer the clearer, - 
deeper shades of rose for their garden or for cutting. A most appealing blend. 
1567 Fetra Sunset Hybrids Pleasing color blend of bronze and soft shades of 
pink. Much admired on our farms. Pretty in beds and borders or when cut. 
1568 Eetra White Creamy white changing to pure white with age; primrose throat 
which adds considerably to the beauty of the large, attractively formed flowers.
