FLOWER 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 handling 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 a premium, but in the stock furnished, to give full value. Please note that following pages contain also recent introductions.
