SEEDS FOR SPRING PLANTING. 
MIXED FLOWER SEEDS FOR NATURALIZATION. 
Sow in Woodland Walks, on Railway Embankments, beside Streams and Rivulets, Wild Gardens, etc., 
4/6 per pound, or 6 d. per ounce. 
Many have availed themselves of the above suggestion, and have scattered our Mixed Flower Seeds 
on large rough rockeries and rooteries, natural and artificial ; in shrubberies, woodland walks, carriage 
drives, and wild gardens ; also, by the sides of rivulets, railway embankments, and wherever flowers were 
desired beyond the limits of the flower garden. 
For a Summer and Autumn display, sow during March and April, simply scattering the seed broad- 
cast, at the rate of six or seven pounds per acre, and slightly covering it. It should not be sown amongst 
long grass, but patches here and there may be cleared and the seed deposited, then rolling or trampling it 
into the soil. For a Spring and early Summer display, sow in September and October.
