Grijfith &Turner Co.'s Choice Flower Seeds 



ALL FLOWERS ARE DIVIDED INTO CLASSES 



A. — ^Annual flowers produce blooms the same growing season. The 

 seed is sown in the open groimd as soon as the weather permits. If 

 early plants are desired, the seed may be started inside during the 

 late winter. These plants should be transplanted into the garden when 

 all danger of frost is past. Annual plants will not live through the 

 following winter. 



B. — Biennial flowers usually require two growing seasons to bloom 

 and complete their life. They seldom flower the first season. The 

 seed is usually sown outdoors during June, July, and August. 

 As the plants grow, they should be thinned to prevent crowding, 

 and finally transplanted in the fall or spring to the place where they 

 are to flower. 



H.P. — Hardy Perennial flowers, as a rule, do not bloom until the 



second year, after which they continue to live over a period of years' 

 Some perennials last a lifetime, while others may perish within threet 

 four, or five growing seasons. There are many perennials that will 

 flower the first year from seed, but as they do not usually live through 

 the winter in this locality, the}' are generally accepted as annuals. 

 Perennial seed, like Biennial seed, is usually sown outdoors during 

 June, July, and August. As the plants grow, they, too, should be 

 thinned to prevent crowding, and finally transplanted in the fall or 

 spring to the place where they are to flower. 

 H.H.P. — Half-hardy Perennial flowers. 



T.P. — Tender Perennials require the same treatment as Hardy 

 Perennials, except they must be protected or put in the greenhouse 

 during the winter. 



PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 



Flower seed should be sown in good rich soil, and generally at a depth three times the diameter of the seed. If the seed is very small, 

 it is best to mix it with a little sand, in order that the seed can be sown evenly. Do not attempt to cover fine seeds, but press them into the 

 soil with your fingers. Fertilizer should not be applied when the seed is sown, but we recommend that G. & T. Co.'s Garden Fertilizer be 

 apphed regularly while the plants are growing.
