"Sure Bloom 
FLOWER SEEDS 
Surely there is nothing more beautiful in this world than 
flowers! A garden of flowers around the house makes it a 
real home. Nothing can take the place of a flower-garden. 
For the sake of little children, and for all that is good in the 
world, surround your home with the refining and uplifting 
influence of flowers. Tlie most heautiful flowers imaginable 
may be grown successfully from our "Sure Crop" Seed if 
cultui'al directions which are printed on all packages are care- 
fully followed. Flower Seeds come in several classifications 
and should be planted as follows: 
Seed may be sown in the open

ground in early sprin 
die in the one season. . 
Tender, or Half Hardy Anuiiuls. Seeds should 
be sown in bo.'ces in the house or in hot-beds dur- 
ing March or April and the plants set out in the 
open ground in May. They will (lower for the one 
season and die. ' 
Hnrdy Biennials. Sow seed as you would the 
hardy annual. The plants will not bloom until the 
following year, after which they die. 
Tender, or Half Har«ly Biennials. Seed should be 
sown ."xs you would the half hardy annuals. The 
Alyssum 
plants require protection during the winter. They 
will bloom and die the following season. 
Hardy Perennials. Seeds may be sown in early 
spring, or during July and August to produce plants 
that will flower the next season, and continue to 
bloom each succeeding year. Seed of some hardy 
perennials it sown very early will produce plants 
that will bloom the same season. It is unnecessary 
to give protection to these plants during the winter, 
but it will prove beneficial to the plants if a cover- 
ing of leaves, litter or strawy manure is provided. 
Hiilf Hardy Perennials. Sow seed as you would 
the half hardy annuals. If plants are set out in the 
open ground they must be lifted before frost, 
potted up and taken in the house during the winter.
