Popular Flower Seeds 
Each year the interest in flowers for garden and home decoration increases and more people turn to the 
growing of flowers for recreation and pleasure. Flower-lovers will find a number of new varieties in our lists 
this year, as well as all of the old friends. We have devoted most of our attention to the “annuals,” that is, 
the kinds which grow, produce flowers, mature, and die the same season, since these are generally found 
most satisfactory in the average garden. Among the annuals are flowers for every purpose, tall and low- 
growing, trailing and climbing, for cutting and for garden display. All Flower Seeds are sent postpaid to 
your door. 
All varieties not designated by HP are annuals, blooming the first season 
HARDY PERENNIALS ARE DESIGNATED BY HP . HALF-HARDY HHP 
There are a number of perennial varieties that will bloom the first season if sown very early; other 
varieties should be sown later, giving a continual riot of color year after year. Your attention is called to

FERTILIZERS MAKE FLOWERS CROW AND BLOOM 
Most annual flowers, due to their short season of growth and profuse bloom, are heavy feeders and re¬ 
quire an abundance of a quick-acting fertilizer. Nitrate of Soda and Sheep Manure are particularly adapted 
for this class of plants. The Sheep Manure should be applied at the time of planting; the Nitrate of Soda 
several times during the season. The perennial plants are slower growers and for that reason the less active 
fertilizers, such as Bone-Meal and our Special Garden Fertilizer, meet their requirements. Either should 
be applied at time of planting and supplementary applications should be made during the life of the plant.

PRICE OF FLOWER SEEDS. All flower seeds are put up in large generous quantities in beautiful packets lithographed 
in colors with common sense cultural directions, and should not be compared to the common bargain seeds sometimes 
offered to attract attention. Entirely your selection. Prices for ounces or fractions of an ounce are very liberal for those 
who need more than packets.
