A WILD FLOWER GARDEX. Xot a tame garden of wild flowers, but a 

 wild garden of tame flowers. A mixture of the choicest seeds, mostly annuals, 

 to be sown bap-hazard, in a promiscuous way. The results are both surprising and 

 charming. It savors just enough of chance and guess w ork to be interesting. For 



a number of years I have sent out this mixture, and have received many testimon- 

 ials of the pleasing results obtained. To guess the identity of unknown "plants in a 

 flower bed, before they bloom, is like working a puzzle, unlike a lottery there are no 

 blanks. Everything is a prize. Packet, 10 cts ; 3 packets, 25 cts.; oence, 30 cts.
