C. & T. GO'S FLOWER SEEDS OF QUALITY 



In presenting" this list of Flower Seeds to oar patrons we wish to call attention to the many 

 new varieties we have Inclnded this year. Fine flowers can be grown only from choice new 

 seed and infinite care has been taken to secure the finest strains available in the world. 



FZ.OWER FI^ANTS MAY BE DIVIDED INTO THREE DISTINCT CI^ASSES 



ANNUALS grow from seed, produce flowers and die the same season. 



BIENNIALS require two seasons to complete their life, seldom blooming the first year. They grow from seed the 

 first season, produce flowers the second and then die. 



PERENNIALS as a rule do not bloom until the second year, but continue to live over a varying period of years. Some 

 last a lifetime and others may perish within three, four or five seasons. There are numerous Perennials that will bloom the 

 first year from seed, but because they are not hardy in Northern Gardens they are generally accepted as Annuals. 



(A) — Seeds of Annuals are sown in the Spring in the open ground as soon as the weather permits, or they may be 

 started indoors in seed flats in the late winter and transplanted into the garden when warm weather has arrived. 



(B) — Biennials and Perennials (H. P.) are commonly sown outdoors in June, July or August, the plants being thinned 

 to prevent crowding and then transplanted in Autumn or Spring to the garden where they are intended to flower. Care should 

 be taken to cover the seed only to a depth equal to three times their own diameter, and very fine seed are best mixed with a 

 little sand and then broadcast and pressed into the soil, no attempt should be made to cover very fine seed. Do not add fer- 

 tilizer to soil for starting seeds, but apply it later when plants are partly grown.
