Flower Garden 
The Estates and Homes around Pittsburgh are famed for 
their attractive surroundings. We take pardonable pride in the 
fact that since 1877, it has been our privilege and pleasure to 
provide Seeds for Pittsburgh’s most critical amateur and pr - 
fessional gardeners. We offer one of the most comprehensive 
collections of Flower Seeds in this country. 
A Garden Full of Flowers for 
One Dollar Postpaid 
Among our nearly 1,200 varieties of flowers, there are a dozen or 
more classes, the seeds of which are of such strong vitality and their 
plants make such small demands in the way of soil and care that they 
will literally grow for anybody, and they will grow in any place where 
the sun shines a few hours each day. The principal ones are: Candy- 
tuft, Celosia, Cosmos, Orange Daisy, Hyacinth Bean, Escholtzias, 
Godetias, Kochia, Marigold, Nigella, Petunia, Salpiglossis, Scabiosa, 
Verbena, Vinca, and Zinnias. 
Special Offer: We will mail one packet of each, our choice of 
- ■■■ — ■ varieties, 16 packets in all, for $ I , postpaid. 
This provides a constant supply of flowers from July until frost.
