FLOWER SEEDS. 



PUT UP IN 10c. PACKAGES, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. 



Flower seeds require a little more care in sowing than the vegetable seed. The 

 ground should be well pulverized and light enough not to bake after a rain. Some of 

 the more delicate and finer varieties are better sown in boxes or seed pans, where they 

 can bo handled and protected from hard rains or cold weather; the other kinds do not 

 transplant well, and are better sown at once where they are to remain. 



All flower seeds in packages are mailed free of postage to the purchaser. Where 

 there is more than one color, we generally import them mixed, as we find that most of 

 our customers do not wish to purchase six packages or more of one variety to get all 

 colors One package of Asters, Zinnia, Phlox, Chinese Pink, Stocks, Petunia, Portulaca 

 and others will always contain an equal mixture of the best colors.
