Our Free Flower Seed Offer 
Have You Plenty of Flowers About Your Home? If Not, Why Not? 
Wouldn’t yon like to have more flowers abont yonr 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 abont this subject a great deal. As wo travel over the South from year to year the most depressing thing to ns 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 seed house. We want to encourage a more general planting of flowers in 
the South in 1912. 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, Petunias, 
Striped and Blotched, Mixed; Nasturtiums, Dwarf, Mixed; Cosmos, Mixed Colors; and Phlox, Grandiflora, Mixed Colors. 
These are all very desirable and easily grown flowers. Yon 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. Yon 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 ns and a request for these flower seed to be sent with it. It’s the greatest free flower seed offer 
ever made. Take advantage of it promptly.
