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, v^here 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 pur- 

 chase 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.
