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 in 1918? It’s groing to be mighty easy for you 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 many hundreds of times. 
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 attractive surroundings, and few of them who have any flowers have enough. 
Such an offer as this has never been made before by any other reliable seed house. We want to encourage a more general planting of 
flowers in the South in 1918. 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, 
Nasturtiums, Finest Mixed; Hastings’ Superb 31ixed Poppies, Hastings’ Mixed Zinnias, and Scarlet Flowering Flax. 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 doesn’t want at least 50 cents’ worth of seed each spring. Y"ou need the seed for your garden 
anyhow. Why not send your seed 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 it. It’s the greatest flower seed offer ever made. 
Take advantage of it promptly.
