IPLOWER SEED DEPARTMENT 



This department is entirely distinct from our Rose and Plant business. It is presided over by those who for years have 

 devoted themselves exclusively to the study and handUng of the best Flower Seeds and Bulbs to be had. Whether in Europe, 

 Japan, California, or at home, wherever the different varieties reach their greatest perfection — there is our supply obtained. We 

 endeavor, not in premiums, but in the stock furnished, to give full value, and on orders amounting to $i or over we send extras 

 for good measure. Please note that following pages contain also recent introductions. 



For complete index to Flower Seeds and further information of these signs, see page 95.
