Our Free Flower Seed Offer 
Have You Plenty of Flowers About Your Home? If Not, Why Not? 
Wouldn’t you like to have more flowers about your home? It’s going to be mighty easy to do it this year. 
We believe in flowers and shade trees and grass plots. They beautify and make attractive our homes as nothing else can do. A man or a woman who 
lives in a home surrounded with flowers and trees feels a satisfaction and contentment with life that the occupant of a home without such surroundings cannot feel. 
Most of our wives and daughters take naturally to flowers; want them and enjoy them, and while it is natural that the men folks are more interested in 
the growing fields of cotton, corn and other crops, it is nothing more than right that the ladies should have a part that they can enjoy. 
We have thought about this subject a great deal. As we travel over the South from year to year the most depressing thing to us is the sight of tens of 
thousands of farm and small town homes without flowers, and few of them who have any flowers have enough. 
Such an offer as this has never been made before by any,other seed house. We want to encourage a more general planting of flowers in the South in 
1913. With that in view we shall give absolutely free to every one who orders seeds from this catalogue to the amount of 50 cents or more, and who requests 
these free flower seeds, one packet each of Japanese Chrysanthemum Flowered Sunflower, Dianthus or Chinese and Japanese Pinks, Mixed; Nasturtiums, Dwarf, 
Mixed; Poppies, Superb Mixed; and Phlox, Grandiflora and Starred, Mixed Colors. 
These are all very desirable and easily grown flowers. You will find them all illustrated in natural colors on the second page of the cover of this catalogue. 
We don’t know of a family in the South that don’t buy at least 50 cents’ worth of seed each spring. You need the seed for your garden anyhow. Why 
not send the order to US now and get these 5 packets of flower seed absolutely free? All it takes is an order to the amount of 50 cents or over sent to us and 
a request for these flower seed to be sent with iL ft’s the greatest free flower seed offer ever made. Take advantage of it promptly.
