CHOICE 

 FLOWER SEEDS 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



For Garden, Parlor, Conservatory and Greenhouse 



Where the climate i^ not too severe, 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, 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 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 maybe 

 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.
