WHITE 
Jet Pilot—A medium early paper white, long spikes. 
@White Knight—Improved paper white. Medium to long com- 
pact spikes with well-placed florets; growth firmer and less 
grassy than Snowman and flowering is earlier. 
IVORY 
Apollo—Larger and more vigorous than Margaret. 
Citation—Earlier than Margaret, Apollo or Twenty Grand. 
Very large ruffled floret. 
Twenty Grand—A medium early winter variety. 
ROSE PINK 
Crusader—Color and season that of Dorcas Jane. 
Gusto—Somewhat deeper than Mary Ellen. Earlier, and more 
uniform in flowering. 
Pompey—Nearly same or little deeper than Dorcas Jane. 
Earlier, more vigor than Dorcas Jane. 
eRowenna—Light rose pink with medium to long spikes. Flow- 
ers just ahead of Crusader or Pompey. Florets are semi- 
erect and adhere closely to the stem which makes the 
variety very adaptable for bunching. 
Star Charter—A wide floret similar to that of Christina; vigor- 
ous uniform growth; close spacing of florets. 
@Wintergreen—Light rose pink of very fine quality. Unusually 
compact spikes with uniformly placed florets. Stiff wiry 
growth with complete lack of grassiness. 
LIGHT PINK 
e@Rosebud—Soft pastel pink with long spikes and giant-sized 
florets. Wing petals are slightly ruffled. Color holds well 
through April. Displays real hybrid vigor. Strong stems 
and marked uniformity. 
Top Flight—Earlier than Christina. Greater vigor. Partially 
shatterproof.

spike; a little deeper color than Mary Ellen. 
DARK PINK 
Pensive—A little later than Christmas Cheer. 
ePrestige—Lustrous dark pink; a new color in Yoder snap 
hybrids. Full spikes of better than average quality flowers 
in this color class. 
Pink Star—Early. Dark pink with light salmon overcast. 
YELLOW 
eBroker’s Tip—Deep yellow with medium-sized florets. Little 
or no side growth. Flowers after Seabiscuit and because of 
its excellent color-holding quality and its vigorous stocky 
growth it is well adapted for continuing its flowering later 
into the spring. 
Day Star—Very early; good uniformity; long spike; flower 
a little small. 
Seabiscuit—Follows War Admiral and Day Star. 
War Admiral—Just follows Day Star. Closer spacing and 
somewhat larger florets. 
These improved hybrid snapdragons are the result of intensive 
hybridization. They are stiff stemmed and produce long taper- 
ing spikes. There is a minimum amount of side shoots which 
makes them well adapted to single-stem culture as well as for 
a pinched crop, 
LAVENDER 
Bold Venture—Rich lavender or bright, light magenta. 
BRONZE 
Cavalcade—A lively golden bronze; extremely vigorous; long 
spikes; outstanding keeper. 
Gallant Fox—Deep orange bronze. 
Sun Briar—Lively orange bronze. 
RED 
@Commando—A good pleasing red plus earliness, clean growth 
habit, marked vigor and uniformity add up to a fine novelty.
