NE of the glories of Florida is the luxuriant beauty of its annual flow¬ 
ers, not only at that season of the year when most of the United States 
is covered with snow and ice and is experiencing the chill of winter, 
but also during the summer months. Annuals are quick growing, 
marvelously brilliant, inexpensive, and easy to have. There is only 
one precaution which must be taken by those who would enjoy their loveliness 
about their grounds and homes. 
Precaution: The seeds must be sown in the right season. 
Some flowers are tender and are killed by even the lightest frosts, while others 
are hardy and will grow and bloom through the coldest winters. The tender 
varieties must be planted in early fall or in the spring after all danger of frost is 
past, so that they will be able to reach full maturity before they are killed by 
either the summer’s intense heat or winter frosts. Hardy varieties may be planted 
at any time from September to March. All varieties in this book are labeled 
either “Tender” or “Hardy,” as they have proved themselves to be in our Proving 
Grounds at Plant City, Florida. 
For this reason we are issuing our Planting Guide for the South some months 
earlier than usual, in the hope of impressing upon our friends the urgent necessity 
of securing their seeds at once and planting them in early autumn for winter gar¬ 
dens. We have come to a full realization of the importance of early fall planting 
as a result of experience gained from more than twenty years’ observation and 
study of growing conditions in Florida. 
The flower seeds and varieties offered in this book have been carefully selected 
from the thousands of varieties on the market, with reference to their adaptability 
to the winter and summer flowering conditions in Florida. We have searched far 
and wide for seeds of the latest and most improved strains, which, if planted in 
season and cared for as directed in the cultural directions, will give full measure 
of satisfaction and enjoyment. 
To make certain that 
all seeds sent out will 
give satisfaction, we 
maintain an up-to-date 
seed - testing laboratory 
where all seeds are tested for germina¬ 
tion. In our extensive trial-grounds, thousands of 
plants are grown every year to check varieties for 
quality and beauty and to make certain that they 
are adapted to Florida conditions. 
We unhesitatingly recommend each and every 
variety offered and are confident there is no seed 
of better quality obtainable elsewhere. The price has been 
a secondary consideration in making our selection; quality 
is our first consideration.
