/\ /\ ANY years of practical experience in Floriculture has enabled us to faithfully discriminate between those 



>. V \ -, ' flowers which are truly excellent or well worthy of cultivation, because thoroughly adapted to our climate, 



and those of no value to us, however beautiful and well-suited they may be to other countries. Greenhouse plants 

 may be grown with like success in any climate ; but while it is true a very large number of kinds will succeed as well 

 in one climate as in another, there are certain very choice kinds, very beautiful and very desirable, but which only do 

 well under the most favorable circumstances. They may be found in perfection in one place, but try as we may, we 

 invariabh'' meet with failure in attempting to grow them in a climate less favorable. Our general list of flower seeds 

 contains all and only those of most value in our climate. If we introduce any new thing, we must either know it well 

 ourselves, or be thoroughly convinced by what we learn of it from the most reliable sources that it is worthy of culture, 

 before we will list it. We use every care our experience can suggest to have our flower seeds true to name and of 

 tJie very best quality. With the proper treatment and care every seed must groiv. To assist the uniniti- 

 ated we give brief but sufficient directions for the culture of each plant on the seed packet, which, if faithfully followed, 

 will surely result in success. 



The following Abbreviations occur in the Flower Seed List, viz: 



A for ANjS'UAIiS that grow, bloom and die the flrst year from seed. 



B for BIENISXALS that bloom the second year from seed, and then die, although many, if sown early in the Spring, will flower 



the tirst year. 

 P for PEKEN?fiALiS that usually bloom the second year from seed, and continue to grow and bloom for many years. Some 



will also bloom the first year if sown early. 

 H indicates they are HARDY, and H H HALF HARDY. T indicates that they are TENDER. 

 HARDY" Annuals, Uiennials and Perennials can be sown in the open ground early in the Spring, and Biennials and Perennials 



do not require protection in Winter. 

 HALF HARDY Annuals, Biennials and Perennials should not be sown in the open ground until warm weather sets in; 



they can be sown in the house if desired early, and afterward transplanted. The two latter need to be protected in the 



Winter, or carried over until Spring in cold frames or greenhouses.
