A DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF

Flowe 



MOST flowering plants will live in almost any soil, but to give them a fair chance to develop, some 

 care should be taken to make the ground cuited to their needs. Many flowers are better if pro- 

 duced on plants of vigorous growth, hence a portion of the garden should be prepared by deep 

 digging, thorough pulverization and liberal enriching with large quantities of well rotted 

 manure. Since some other varieties produce the largest and finest colored flowers when grown on 

 rather light, poor soil, a portion of the garden should not be enriched. 



Cultural directions are given on the packets, and we urge purchasers to study them carefully. 

 While some seeds need special treatment, the following general rules will apply to all. Make the sur- 

 face of the soil as fine, smooth and level as possible; do not plant when the ground is wet; cover each 

 lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should not be more than four or six times the diameter of the 

 seed; press the soil firmly over the seed; plant in rows, so that the starting plants can be seen easily; 

 be careful not to allow the young plants to be crowded or to be smothered by weeds.
