Wild-Flower Garden Mixture 



These mixed flower seeds embrace more than a hundred varieties 

 of such easy-growing and pretty flcvvers as are suitable for forming 

 a Wild Flower Garden. They are very useful for woodland walks, 

 roadsides, railroad embankments, and for sowing alongside of fences 

 and on untidy bare spots of ground which are so frequently un- 

 sightly, and which, if properly cared for and kept free from weeds, 

 can be made to produce a continual display of bloom during the 

 summer. To those who cannot give the care and attention which 

 the planting of special varieties requires, this mixture will give verj' 

 satisfactory, interesting and pleasing results, with its unusual and 

 varied effects, and for its cheapness and for the small amount of 

 labor necessary for the construction of a bed of this kind.
