BRAND’S FLOWER SEEDS 
We are offering this spring quite a choice line of flower 
seeds. Many of these seeds are gathered from flowers grown 
on our own farms. Some seed is from the firm of William 
Pfitzer of Germany, the great Gladiolus Specialist, from whom 
came Pfitzer’s Triumph, Commander Koehl, Albatross, etc. 
The balance of the seeds are secured from the most reliable 
American seed firms. Our aim is to send out in seed only 
that of the highest quality and of the highest germination 
tests. 
Most of our flower seeds are listed in mixtures. In every
