The chance of obtaining greatly increased vigor usually increases the more the parent plants differ from each other. Thus, more vigor and larger flowers Is likely to result from crossing a tall, red-flowered snapdragon with one that is short and bears white flowers, than from crossing two tall reds. at Our Store!
