A dollar’s worth of C. & J. Surpassing Flower Seeds will produce many times as many — 
flowers as the same amount expended in plants. 
Any ordinary soil will grow beautiful 
flowers. Make it fine and mellow, plant at 
proper time, 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. 
Transplanting. 
Do not cover too deeply ; 
very fine seeds — 
should be merely pressed in with the hand; _ 
see printed directions sent with every order. 
Do not allow plants to stand too thickly; 
weed out or transplant if necessary; if crowded © 
they cannot bloom satisfactorily. A home 
adorned with beautiful flowers is sure to be 
happy and prosperous. 
Nearly all flowers are improved by transplanting, except Sweet Peas, Poppies, 
Centaureas, etc., which are usually sown where they are to grow. 
By start- 
ing tender seeds in boxes, hot beds or cold frames and transplanting, you escape danger of frost 
and secure the earliest and finest flowers.
