We have, this year, given Flower Seeds a more prominent part in our Annual Catalogue ; we know of nothing that for so little expendi- 
ture of money, coupled with attention and care on the part of the planter, will give s-o rich, so beautiful and so liberal a reward. No one 
should fad to have flowers in their homes ; they are a thing of beauty and a joy forever ; the richness of coloring, the fragrance of perfume, 
and the wonderfully beautiful and varied forms of petal, leaf and flower are a pleasing study, charm the eve of all beholders and exercise a 
refinmg and elevating influence in the home.
