Tetra snaps are a Burpee scientific creation, originated through the treat- All Colors 
ment of the best regular or diploid varieties with colchicine—a drug or chemical ee 
derived from the bulbs of fall crocus. Genetically, they are known as tetra- Rt. 25¢ 
ploids, for, when examined under the microscope, they have twice the number 
ot chromosomes in their cells as the regular or diploid snapdragons. 
Burpee’s Giant Tetra Snapdragons are extremely large and attrac- 
tively 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. 
3495 Tetra Candlelight Clear, bright yellow, nicely formed, well placed 
flowers are freely borne on strong, erect spikes. Extremely rich and beautiful. 
4267 Tetra Crimson Very large, deep but bright, velvety crimson flowers 
closely set on long, broad, tapering spikes above dark green, thick foliage. 
4269 Tetra Pink Shades Exquisite shades from pale shell-pink to deep 
rose. Tapering spikes are filled with large, nicely formed, well placed flowers. 
3499 Tetra Shades of Rose Especially selected for those who prefer the 
clearer, deeper shades of rose for their garden. A most appealing blend. 
3493 Tetra Sunset Hybrids Pleasing color blend of bronze and soft 
shades of pink. Much admired. Pretty in beds and borders or when cut. 
4258 Tetra White Creamy white changing to pure white with age; prim- 
rose throat which adds to the beauty of the large, attractively formed flowers.
