We give the same careful attention to flower seed 
as to vegetable and field seed, and after 35 years ex¬ 
perience believe that there is no finer flower seed 
grown than those offered here—pay particular attention 
to pages on Zinnias. 
Antirrhinum (Snapdragon)

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS are printed on the packets. By following them almost any person 
will have fair success in the culture of flowers. While some seeds need special treatment, the follow¬ 
ing general rules will apply to all: Make the surface of the soil as fine, smooth and level as possible; 
do not plant when the ground is wet; cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should not 
be more than four or six times the diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seed; plant in 
rows so that the starting plants can be seen easily, thin out the young plants to prevent crowding 
and keep entirely free from weeds. Never allow the seedlings to suffer from drouth.

its lilac tinted undersides. Foliage gray green. Especially good 
cut flower.

Buchanan’s Collection of Tall Flowering Antirrhinum (Snap 
Dragon). One packet each of five separate colors.40c 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine). [hP-2>£ ft.] In a recent contest 
more people all over the country voted for this blossom as the 
national flower than for any other except the wild rose. It is a 
general favorite. Both the native and the improved varieties are 
exquisite, and no garden can afford to be without a liberal assortment 
of these delicately graceful plants which bloom so early in the season. 
From a clump of light green leaves at the base the branching stems 
project, carrying their long-spurred blossoms. Many of these have 
star-shaped rings of outer petals surrounding their central tubes. 
The plants look frail, and yet they are strong and hardy and will 
thrive in almost every situation, preferring partial shade and con¬ 
siderable moisture. As cut flowers they are artistic when the 
branches are arranged in natural form.
