CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS IN MIXTURE. 
A beautiful variety of pleasing colours for sowing freely in waste places in shrubberies, woodland walks, rockeries, covering large banks, 
&c., where they give a gay and cheerful appearance for a long period. Sow broadcast in March, April, or May, and give the seeds a slight 
covering after sowing, by drawing a rake over the ground. As most of the varieties contained in the mixture are perfectly hardy, 
a few sown in sheltered positions in August or September will stand through the Winter, and have a pleasing effect in early Spring. 
Dwarf varieties, per lb. 5s. ; per oz. 0d. Tall varieties, per lb. 5 s. ; per oz. 8d. Not less than one ounce supplied.
