FARMER SEED & NURSERY CO., FARIBAULT, MINN. 
THE NEWEST AND BESTTTrTFLOWER SEEDS 
Our Flower Seeds are grown for us by leading American and European growers, and are true to name and color. 
Neither time nor expense is spared to provide the best new varieties, and to secure the finest strains available. 
We are convinced that 90% of all failures with flower seeds is due to seed sown too deeply and to unfavorable weath¬ 
er conditions. If the weather is dry, tiny seedlings, if not protected and shaded, will quickly dry up; continuous cold rains, 
too, will result in the loss of tender plants. 
These are conditions which neither the 
seedsman nor the gardener can control. 
Brief cultural directions are printed on 
each packet of seed. A special leaflet, 
“HOW TO GROW ANNUALS AND PER¬ 
ENNIALS,” will be sent free upon request.
