BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME GROUNDS 



YOU CAN HAVE FLOWERS ALL SEASON 



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 be 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.
