almost as pojular as thepetunia

advantage over petunias because
snapdragons do not suffer from

All the available cultivars of
'snapdragons were tested once
more last summer. It was obvious
then that considerable progress
had been achieved in the search
for improved types.
Intheprevious tests, the open-
faced snapdragons had just been
introduced with the announcement
of the All-American gold medal
winning Bright Butterflies strain:
This race of snapdragons was
unique because _ the individual
flowers were more like phlox or
pansy flowers then the traditional
snapdragon which had definite lip
petals.
Whether these 'snapless'
snapdragons were acceptable to
the general public, . was . best.

HE "NEEDS A 'FAMILY
"Four-year-old Hughie does not realize fie is a little boy without a
family. but he does know he has a problem - very poor eyesight. t
At first, it - ,was feared his sight would become even worse and ,
that'he 'would become blind. -This does not now appear to be the
case, because his vision is improving, it' anything. He can see well
enough to appreciate children: s television programs. and to look at
picture books.
Like.'rnost srnallbovs, Hughie delights in playing with cars. He
enjoys music and often dances to recprds. Nonetheless, he has
many frustrations over -things he ,can't cope•„ with because he
doesn't see t1im properly. ,
His difficulties have made Hughie a timid` youngster, very
dependent on,his•foster family. But he has been attending a special
nursery school with help from' the Canadian National Institute for
..the Blind where his teacher .says he .is making great progress. .
This.dear small fellow needs special parents --parents who will
meet the challenge -of ,helping a child with a disability to live as
normal -a. lite as possible. He should be the youngest or the only
child in a family.To inquire about adopting Hughie, please write to
Today`s-Child, Box.888. Station K. Toronto. For general adoption
