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 directions sent with everj- order. 

 Do not allow plants to stand too thickly; weed out or transplant if necessar}^ ; if crowded 



they cannot bloom satisfactorily. A home adorned with beautiful flowers is sure to be 



happy and prosperous. 



npi-g^l^gpl^j^-^jj^o* Nearly all flowers are improved by transp"! anting, except Sweet Peas and 

 ^ ^* Poppies which are 'Usually sown where they are to grow. By starting them 



in Boxes, Hot Beds or Cold Frames, and transplanting, you escape danger of frost and secure the 

 largest and finest flowers. ALWAYS ADDRESS :
