Flower seeds require a little more care in sowing than the vegetable seed. The ground should be well pul- 
verized 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.
