FLOWER SEEDS 



GENERAL DIRECTIONS TOR 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-half inch. Very fine seeds press into the soil, and cover slightly with a 

 little sand or sphagnum moss. If seed is not deep, water frequently. When up, transplant from two to twelve inches apart, 

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

 beds. Annuals may be planted in early spring, and bloom the first season only. Biennials bloom the second year from seed, 

 and then die. Perennials bloom the second year from seed, and plants live to bloom during successive years. Varieties marked 

 ("A") stand for Annuals. Marked ("B") Biennials. Marked ("P") Perennials. Order by Number.
