 the sweetest and most beautiful varieties in existence, at prices lower than ever before. They do well 

 everywhere ; bloom abundantly and give delight and pleasure to all. The flowers last a long time after 

 cutting and are very highly prized for house and table decoration, they should be planted in liberal 

 quantity. We sell in any quantity desired: by the Pkt., oz. or pound, and hope to have 5-our orders, 



THE CU11.TURE IS VERY SIMPLiE— Plant the seed three or four inches deep in the most convenient place you 

 happen to have, very early in the Spring— just as early as possiT)le- February, March, April or May, according to season 

 and locality. Keep the ground loose and mellow, give the the young plants good support to climb on— wire netting, twine oi 

 brush. Keep the flowers picked off clean every day, as fast as they open (this is very important), and they will bloon^ 

 abundantly for many weeks. No flowers are easier to grow or more certain to give satisfaction.
