Hints on Growing Flowers from Seeds. Always buy C. & J. Surpassing 
Flower Seeds: they are the best. 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. 
Do not cover too deeply; very fine seeds should be merely pressed in with the hand; see printed direc- | 
tions 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. | 
Transplanting Nearly all flowers are improved by transplanting, except Sweet Peas, Poppies, 
~ Centaureas, etc., which are usually sown where they are to grow. By starting 
tender seeds in boxes, hot beds or cold frames and transplanting, you escape danger of frost and 
secure the earliest and finest flowers.

A Ssendid New Flant for Beds and Borders 
Nicotiana Sanderae 
This splendid new Border Plant was ex- 
tensively planted last year as a novelty, and 
having proved one of the handsomest and 
most satisfactory flowering plants recently 
introduced, and the price being greatly re- 
duced, we take pleasure in recommending it 
to all lovers of new and beautiful flowers. It 
makes nice bushy plants about 2 feet high, 
covered the whole season with bright rich 
crimson flowers; seed planted in the open 
ground early in Spring will quickly throw up 
stout well furnished plants which will soon 
be covered all over with their brilliant crim- 
son flowers, making objects of rare and re- 
markable beauty. It is undoubtedly one of 
the brightest and showiest flowers you can 
plant, will grow easily in any good ordinary 
soiland make a fine display of rare and 
beautiful flowers the whole growing season.
