St. Louis Seed Co.'s Fine Flower Seeds 
The Charm of Flowers Appeals to All—the Grossest Nature is Touched by Their Beauty 
Probably no outdoor occupation gives so much pleasure as the cultivation of flowers from seed. Start¬ 
ing with the tiny inanimate-looking grains of seed, placing them carefully in suitable soil, intelligently 
watching the conditions of air and moisture while the seeds are hidden below the ground, sometimes 
making for them artificial surroundings necessary to their growth, watching the gradual unfolding 
of the tiny seedling, and later the miraculous de¬ 
velopment of leaf, stem and branch, until finally 
the fully grown plant bursts into glorious flower; 
this is the pleasure awaiting one who grows flow¬ 
ers from seed.
