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, Fox- 

 glove. 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 very cold weather— say not later than first of October. Then they will flower freely the next summer. 



South of central Ohio, fall sowings of flower seeds are particularly to be recommended 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 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 highest quality.
