Schultz's High Grade Flower Seeds 



Most flowering plants will live in almost any soil, but to give them a fair chance to develop, some care should 

 be taken to make the ground suited to their needs. Many flowers are better if produced on plants of vigorous 

 growth, hence a portion of the garden should be prepared by deep digging, thorough pulverization and hberal 

 enriching with large quantities of well rotted manure. Since some other varieties produce the largest and finest 

 colored flowers when grown on rather hght, poor soil, a portion of the garden should not be enriched. 



Cultural directions are given on the packets, and we urge purchasers to study them carefully. "V\ hilesome 

 seeds need special treatment, the following general rules will apply to all. Make the surface of the soil as fixie, 

 smooth and level as possible; do not plant when the ground is wet; cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, 

 which should not be more than four or six times the diaraeter of the seed ; press the soil firmly over the seed ; plant 

 in rows so that the starting plants can be seen easily; thin out the young plants to prevent crowding and keep en- 

 tirely free from weeds. 



Plants are usually divided into three classes. Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Annuals are plants which 

 normally live but a single season. Biennials are plants living two years; particularly those which do not bear flow- 

 ers and fruit until the second season. Perennials tend to live from year to year.
