Complete Flower Gardens From Seed 



FOR $J.OO 



FLOWER GARDENIXG is one of the most pleasurable and healthful of outdoor recreations, and when one "gardens -^-ith 

 seeds" a fascinating interest is engendered that progresses from anticipation -n'ith the seed so^^Tng to joyous satisfaction 

 as the plants unfurl their glorious blossoms, reflecting beauty and refinement to their surroundings. 



Many of our most beautiful garden flowers are raised from seeds. Considering their ease of culture, the quick results, gorgeous 

 effect and low cost of flower seeds, they should be more extensiveh^ employed for garden decoration in this coiantr}^ In the gardens 

 of Europe immense quantities of flower seeds are utilized, with which an endless variety of happy effects are produced. 



If the American Civic Association's ideal, "America Beautiful," is to be realized, it will be accomplished largely through the 

 medium of flower seeds with which all who control a home plot of ground are enabled to effectively and cheaply transform any barren, 

 uninviting wastes into spots of beauty. 



One home with pleasingly embellished grounds is sure to be emulated in the neighborhood; then shortly there develops ''the 

 pretty section of the city," the pride of the dwellers, attractive to strangers an4, in consequence, enhanced in property values. Many 

 such homes and surroundings are required in the weave of "America Beautiful." 



To aid in popularizing these ideals we have collated collections of flower seeds for different purposes. These collections are 

 composed of only tried and choice kinds studiously selected to furnish a varied, profuse and continuous display of flowers throughout 

 the season, including some that are equallj^ valuable as cut flowers for vases, etc. 



We offer these collections at lowest possible prices consistent with high quahty.
