Choice Flower Seeds for Fall Planting 



FOR GARDEN, PARLOR, CONSERVATORY AND GREENHOUSE. 



Many hardy sorts of flower seeds succeed best if sown in the open border during 

 August, September and October, Some hardy annuals, when sown late in the fall, so 

 that the seeds will remain dormant in the ground during winter, will start earlier in the 

 spring, thrive better and flower sooner than if sown in spring. Such hardy sorts as 

 Columbine, Foxglove, Hollyhock, Pink, Sweet William, etc., that do not bloom until the 

 second season, unless started very early in spring, are particularly recommended for 

 fall planting. They should be sown early enough to make pretty good plants before 

 ver}^ cold w^eather — say not later than first of October. Then the^^ will flower freely the 

 next summer. 



South of Central Ohio, fall sowings of flower seeds are particularly to be recom- 

 mended both for the hardy and half-hardy varieties. We have marked with a star sorts 

 which can be planted to advantage in the fall. 



The balance of the list are too tender for out door fall planting, but include many 

 tender varieties Avhich may be sown in pots or shallow wooden boxes of finely 

 sifted soil, for winter and spring blooming in the house. With a little care and at 

 trifling expense for bulbs and seeds, a world of pleasure and comfort can be had from a 

 few flowers in the house in winter. 



Our Flower Seeds are all procured from the best sources in Europe and America, 

 and are of the very highest quality.
