Flowers raised from seed are divided roughly into two classes. (1) Annuals which bloom 
the same year seeds are planted and are killed by frost in the fall; (2) Perennials which 
for the most part do not bloom until the year after sowing, but then live on year after 
year. There are also the biennials which bloom the second year and then die but which 
can generally be depended on to seed themselves. A comparison of the merits of Annuals 
and Perennials is given below. 
The ideal flower garden combines both Perennials and Annuals. The Annuals providing 
flowers all summer long and the Perennials offering exciting changes as each one comes 
into bloom during spring, summer and fall. A comparison of the merits of Annuals and

Cultural Directions 
Sowing flower seeds: There is little difference between sowing annual or perennial 
seeds. One cardinal rule to follow is not to cover the seed too deeply. Very fine 
seed should be sown on top of fine soil and not covered at all. Even the largest 
flower seed should not be covered more than 14 inch. 
For early bloom, start indoors in February, March or April in shallow pots or 
seed flats. To prevent ‘damping off’ treat seed with one of the seed disinfectants 
(Spergon 25c or Semesan 50c), water sparingly in dull weather and keep temperature 
between 65 degrees to 70 degrees. Transplant seedlings to pots or into flats 2 inches 
apart as soon as large enough to handle. Transplant outdoors as soon as danger from 
frost is past. 
Most flower seeds may be planted outdoors with safety as soon as the ground 
can be prepared (this is generally from April 15th on). Many varieties will give 
a fine display planted as late as June 15th. 
YOUR CUSTOM MADE FLOWER GARDEN 
The border on this page represents a flower garden plan easily adapted to your 
grounds. Use any part, or all of it. Spaces marked for separate varieties require 
only a packet of seed each. Flowers we have picked are easy to grow and will 
give a lovely continuous display from early summer until late fall. Note irregular 
edge and irregular spaces for the different kinds, also that some taller varieties are 
in the front of the bed, all planned to give, the widest possible variety of color, 
foliage and height effects, and to provide cut flowers for the house all summer and 
well into the fall. 
We offer three special collections, one for each group, or buy all three for a 
complete border of summer long blooming annuals. Each bed is 30 ft. long and 5 ft. 
wide at the widest point.
