HARVEY SEED CO., BUFFALO, N. Y. 
Beautify Your Home 
with Choice Flowers 
We specialize in flower seeds and list only varie¬ 
ties which have been tried and proven successful in 
our section of the country. A home can hardly be 
called a home without some bright colored flowers 
blooming in the yard, and adding cheer to the sur¬ 
roundings. Flowers, when care is exercised and com¬ 
mon sense is used, are not hard to grow, and every 
home, every farm and every park should abound in 
them, and the school yards should be a source of 
pride and beauty. 
American Branching Asters 
ASTERS 
Asters are one of the most satisfactory flowers to 
grow providing they are given good soil and a suit¬ 
able location. From midsummer until after freezing 
weather they will make a gorgeous showing in the 
garden and at the same time give you some won¬ 
derful bouquets. 
The main points to observe in growing good Asters 
are good varieties, good seed, good deep rich soil, 
and so located that the soil around them can be kept 
continually cultivated. They also seem to prefer a 
little partial shade.

Plants shrubs but don’t plant all shrubs and no 
flowers as so many do, as you need bright flowers 
for a contrast in color. 
One thing should be borne in mind, flower seeds 
should never be planted in a cold, wet ground, as 
they are delicate and will not readily germinate in 
adverse weather conditions. They should never 
be planted deep and the ground should be thor¬ 
oughly prepared. A little care and attention will 
work wonders in a flower garden.
