FLOWER SEEDS FOR 1934 



In submitting this list of flower seeds to our customers, we are offering the very best varieties that can be procured, and 

 endeavor to give a short accurate description of each strain — its use, its color, height, blooming period, etc. We also offer, 

 for the convenience of our customers, general directions for cultivation. 



Hardy flower seeds should be sown in the open, after danger of frost is past, in well-worked and moist soil. Seeds of 

 medium size, put at depth of one-quarter to one-naif inch. Very fine seeds, press into tlie soil and cover slightly with a little 

 sand or sphagnum moss. If seeds are not deep, water frequently. "When up, tranplant from two to twelve inches apart, ac- 

 cording to variety of plants. Do not leave too thick, as the plants will be weak and spindling. Keep weeds out of the flower beds. 



A — Annuals, live and bloom only one season. 



B — Biennials, live two seasons; sometimes blooming only the second season. 



P — ^Perennials, tend to live from year to year. Seeds of perennials should be sown in late summer and cover well during 

 winter. 



HHP — Half Hardy Perennials. Fine seeds can be sown indoors or cold frame, and transplanted to open, latter part of April.
