Select List of Flower Seeds 



A Revised List of the Best and most Popular Sorts 

 Annuals, Biennials, Perennials, and Stove and Greenhouse Plants 



N THE following pages we offer a careful and choice selection of fresh and pure Flower Seeds, 

 including the best old and new varieties. No need of the flower-garden has been neglected, 

 for seeds of plants adaptable for every ornamental purpose, covering a wide range of form and 

 color, height and habit, and the whole season with their bloom, may be found here. 



Our Flower-Seed Packets are large and beautifully lithographed in colors, with direc- 

 tions for culture printed on one side; they are well filled with tested seeds of strong germinating power. 



The Headings of the Various Divisions which follow — Choice Annuals for Bloom the First Season, 

 Perennials for Permanent Planting, Ornamental Climbers, Seeds for Greenhouse Plants — make so clear the 

 nature of each class of seeds offered that the usual puzzling and arbitrary signs and abbreviations are 

 unnecessary. The index on the last page of the Catalogue will be found helpful to all who, without under- 

 standing plant habits and classifications, wish to turn quickly to any species.
