Miscellaneous Seeds lor Greenhouse and Garden 



A large variety of blooming plants for next spring may be produced by sowing now in coldframes or protected quarters. Sow as early 

 as possible to secure sturdy plants before the advent of cold weather; these may then be readily wintered and give early bloom the coming 

 season. This applies to all such popular plants as Daisies, Pansies, Foxgloves, Hollyhocks, Oriental, Iceland and other Poppies, Myo- 

 sotis, etc.
