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!
