CHOICE 

 FLOWER SEEDS 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



For Garden, Parlor, Conservatory and Greenhouse 



Where the climate is not too severe, taany 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, Sweet William, etc., that do not 

 bloom until the second season, unless started very early in spring, are par- 

 ticularly' recommended for fall planting. They should be sown early 

 enough to make pretty good plants before very cold weather— say not later 

 than the middle of September and where weather is at all severe the plants 

 will need some slight protection. Then they will flower freely the next 

 summer. 



South of central Ohio, fall sowings are particularly to be recommended 

 both for the hardy and half hardy varieties and we have marked with a 

 star (*) sorts which usually succeed in that section if conditions are at all 

 favorable-. 



The balance of the list are too tender for outdoor fall planting, but 

 include many tender varieties which 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 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 hig^hest quality.
