FLOWER SEEDS. 



We give close attention to the Flower Seed department of our business, which is probably the largest in 

 quantity and variety in this country. 



Our constant aim is to procure the very best strains obtainable, both of home and foreign growth, and we 

 spare no pains or expense with this object in view. We call especial attention to our choice strains of Asters, 

 Cineraria, Calceolaria, Gloxinia, Pansy, Petunia, Primula and Verbena, which are acknowledged by leading 

 growers to be superior in all respects. Our trade packets contain a liberal supply ; where smaller quantities 

 are wanted, buyers can select from retail catalogue at a discount of one-third, excepting Novelties, on which 

 we can allow only 25 per cent. 



Improved P.eony Flowered Aster. 



Vick's Branching Aster. 



DREER'S SUPERB ASTERS. 



We regret to report again this year a shortage in crops of flower seeds, due to the unfavorable weather 

 of last summer. This is notably the case with Asters and Nasturtiums, the foreign crop of Aster seed being 

 almost a complete failure, so much so that we are only able to offer in limited quantities of most varieties. 



We have been fortunate in securing a good supply of home grown seed of the branching Asters, Vick's 

 White and Semple's Pink and White, which are being largely used by florists. 



Truffaut's Perfection, Pajony=Flowered. 



Pure White Asters. 



Vick's Branching White Aster.
