SEEDS 
In compiling this Catalog of Western flowers we have 
arranged them alphabetically under their most commonly ac¬ 
cepted names. Botanical names are shown in the description. 
The index on page 2 is divided into two sections: the first 
showing the names used in this book, the second Cross 
Reference Section showing the botanical names.

Classification of Flowers 
Following the pronunciation of plant names 
we show the class to which each plant be¬ 
longs. In determining this for purposes of 
proper grouping in this book we are assum¬ 
ing that: 
Annuals are plants that are started from 
seed each year and therefore bloom the first 
season, after which they die; 
Biennials are plants that do not bloom the 
first season, but do bloom the second season, 
after which they die; 
Perennials are plants that may or may not 
bloom the first year, but make a renewed 
growth for several seasons and bloom each 
year. 
Some perennials are not hardy enough to 
stand the winters outdoors in all sections of 
the West and are therefore listed as annuals. 
They bloom the first year from seed if 
started early. 
Principal Flower Uses 
In the second line, under the various flower 
headings (set in italic type), we have in¬ 
dicated the most important uses for the 
flowers and plants. 
Pronouncing Flower Names 
To help eliminate some of the confusion regarding the proper pronunciation of flower names, we 
have again indicated in the first line under each heading in the Flower Seed Section of this 
catalog the now most commonly accepted pronunciation of the name. The names are syllabized 
and an accent is placed over the syllable that should be emphasized. Example: Dimorphotheca, 
Dy-mor-fot'-he-ca. 
FERTILIZING FLOWERS 
Garden Morcrop is the ideal fertilizer 
for flowers. It increases the water-retain¬ 
ing capacity of the soil, stimulates bac¬ 
terial action and supplies plant food in 
its best form. See pages -40-41.
