E make a special business of flower seeds, and 



gather them from all parts of the world, wherever 

 the different varieties reach greatest perfection. 

 We import many kinds from Europe, others from 

 Japan, and a large number from California, where 



both the climate and soil are especially favorable for flower 



culture.

Hints on Growing 



Buy C. & J. Surpassing Flower Seeds; there are no better to be had, and they will 

 make a grand display of beautiful flowers the whole growing season. 

 jy. , Any ordinary soil will grow beautiful flowers if you make it fine and mellow, and 



FiOWerS irOm ^ee&S plant about the time the fruit trees are coming in bloom. Keep clear of weeds, and 



nature will do the rest. 

 Do not plant when ground is wet and soggy. 



Do not cover too deeply; very fine seeds should be merely pressed in with the hand. 



Do not allow plants to stand too thickly; weed. out or transplant if necessary. If crowded they cannot grow or bloom 

 satisfactorily. 



-i a* Nearly all flowers are improved by transplanting except sweet peas, poppies, nasturtium, etc., 



1 ranSDlantinSf which are usually sown where they are to grow. By starting tender seeds in window boxes, hot 



beds or cold frames, and transplanting at proper time when ready, you escape danger from frost.
