Many of our most beautiful garden flowers are raised from seeds. Considering their ease of culture, 

 the quick results, gorgeous effect and low cost of flower seeds, they should be more extensively em- 

 ployed for garden decoration in this country. In the gardens of Europe immense quantities of flower 

 seeds are utilized, with which an endless variety of happy effects are produced. 

 To aid in popularizing flower seeds, we have collated collections for different purposes. These collections 

 composed of only tried and choice kinds studiously selected to furnish a varied, profuse and continuous display of 

 ers throughout the season, including some that are equally valuable as cut flowers for vases, etc. 

 offer these collections at lowest possible prices consistent with high quality.
