The seeds are put up in 10c. packages, except where the price is noted. All flower 
seeds in packages are mailed free of postage to the purchaser, 
Where there is more 
than one color, we generally import them mixed, as we find that most of our customers 
do not wish to purchase six packages or more of one variety to get all colors. 
One 
package of Asters, Zinnia, Phlox, Chinese Pink, Stocks, Petunia, Portulaca and others 
will always contain an equal mixture of the best colors.
