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. 6d. Tall varieties, per lb. 5s. ; per oz. Gd. Not less than one ounce supplied.
