Hints on Growing Flowers from Seeds 
Always buy C. & J. surpassing Flower Seeds; they are 
the best, and will make a grand display of beautiful 
Flowers the whole growing season. Most all the Fin- 
est Gardens are made with Flowers grownfrom Seeds. 
Any ordinary soil will grow beautiful Flowers. If 
you make it fine and mellow, and 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, or it 
may bake so hard as to prevent the little plants from 
coming through. 
Do not cover too deeply; very fine seeds should be 
merely pressed in with the hand. Or if covered at all 
use very fine sifted soil put on evenly of uniform depth. 
Da not allow plants to stand too thickly; weed out or 
transplant if necessary. If crowded they cannot grow 
or bloom satisfactorily. A home adorned with beauti- 
ful flowers is sure to be happy and prosperous. 
C. & J. Surpassing Flower Seeds include all the choi- 
cest new kinds, and the good old Tried and True Varie- 
ties, that everybody wants. Weoffer only those which 
we know will please and give satisfaction, and sell no 
others. 
C. & J. Surpassing Flower Seeds are sold at little pri- 
ces; they grow easily, bloom quickly and bear the lar- 
gest and finest flowers. Printed “Directions for Cult- 
ure”’ are sent with every order for seeds, so you will

Premiums on Flower Seeds in Packets

possible, and persons sending 50 cts. or more for seeds 
in Pkts. or ounces, may select to the value of ro cts. ex- 
tra. Dollar orders 20 cts., extra and larger orders in 
same proportion, but no premiums can be allowed on

Grass, or any special collection of seeds and these can-

Transplanting 
Nearly all flowers are improved by transplanting ex- 
cept, Sweet Peas, Poppies, Nasturtium etc., which are 
usually sown wherethey are to grow. By starting ten- 
der seeds in window boxes, hot beds or cold frames, 
and transplanting at proper time when ready, you es-

est flowers.
