The history of our Flower Seed Department is one 

 of notable achievements. A host of America's most 

 popular garden flowers found their origin here. A few 

 of our leaders are: Invincible Aster, Mt. Vernon Snap- 

 dragon, Spencer Sweet Peas, etc. 



Nowhere in the world can better strains of Flower 

 Seeds be found for American Gardens, than on the 

 following pages of this catalog. They are grown, 

 selected and tested under the most scientific methods. 



Our files are filled with letters from pleased cus- 

 tomers, many of whom have won prizes in garden con- 

 tests and at Flower Shows, with the results obtained 

 from our seed. The illustration on this page shows a 

 section of our Prize Garden at the 1936 International 

 Flower Show, New York. This garden was a reproduc- 

 tion of the one built by Louis XIV, at the Petit Trianon , 

 Versailles. A model of the palace, one-fourth the size of 

 the original, is shown in the background. 



The garden consisted entirely of gay flowering an- 

 nuals. The general color scheme was pink, lavender, 

 blue and white. The following flowers all grown from 

 seed were used: Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Clarkia, 

 Lantana, Larkspur, Linaria, Nemesia, Nicotiana, 

 Stocks, Sweet William, and Verbena. 



Plants are offered on pages 98 to 122. We do not publish a separate Plant Catalog
