SOMERSET’S 
Snaps for Greenhouse Forcing 
ORIGINATOR’S STRAINS 
Hybrid Snapdragons have practically eliminated the open pollinated varieties. We list below most of the 
good varieties. Some varieties are more popular than others but all are fine producers. Increased vigor of 
the hybrids makes them especially suited for single stem culture. This method yields a higher profit because 
of the shorter time required to mature a crop. Spacing 3” x 4” give better dollar return although quality will 
not be quite as good.
