CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS. 
Through lack oi space our fiescrlptl.ua <Jl power 
seeds will have to be cut very much shorter than I 
had intended, and but very few illustrations can be 
given. I wish to say, however, that the varieties of 
flower seeds which I am offering are of the choicest 
stock and will compare favorably with the best you 
can buy in the country, and will give as beautiful 
blooms and as many of them as though you ordered 
them from a gorgeously illustrated catalogue.

posed. While there is no cotton grown commercially
