FLOWER SEEDS 
For best results, flowering plants should be grown in a rich, sandy loam. Do not 
cover too deeply. A general rule is to cover from X A to X A inch, but for the very fine 
seeds, the best results are obtained by merely pressing them into the earth, and sprink¬ 
ling them lightly with loose earth to prevent seed drying up. In dry weather, they 
should be sprinkled frequently. 
All Flower Seeds sent postpaid on receipt of price. 
NASTURTIUM 
One of the most popular flowers, 
Nasturtiums are perhaps the most easily 
grown of all annuals, and in almost any 
soil. The dwarf varieties are used for beds 
and borders and the tall sorts to cover 
fences or in window boxes. The plants, for 
about three months in the year, produce a 
lavish profusion of bloom even through the 
hottest weather.

Golden Gleam. This sensational novelty 
forms a large, vigorous bush which throws out short runners 12 to 15 inches in length. 
The extra large flowers are semi-double, borne on erect stiff stems that are ideal for 
cutting. Pkt., 10c; Oz., 25c; X A lb., 75c. 
SWEET PEAS 
Sow as early as the ground can be prepared in a rich, moist soil, in drills 6 inches 
deep, covering about 2 inches. As the vines grow, fill up the trenches with soil and thin 
out to about 4 inches apart. A good plan is to sow in double rows with a trellis between. 
When plenty of manure is available, dig trench 12 to 15 inches deep. Lay 4-inch land 
tile in the bottom of trench. Stop up one end with cement. Place an elbow on the other 
end and add tile enough to come a little above surface of soil. Lay small pieces of tarred 
paper over the joints to keep out dirt until soil has firmly settled. Fill trench with the 
manure until when well treaded, it is 4 inches from the surface. Water freely with 
hose. Fill nearly to the top with loam, sow the seed and cover about 2 inches. When 
plants have grown 3 or 4 inches high, thin to 4 inches apart and fill around them as 
they settle in the trench. Water freely in the tile twice a week. Dissolve Nitrate of 
Soda in the water occasionally for best results. 
Spencer Varieties 
The flowers are of exceptionally large size, the wings waved or frilled and the general 
effect is very attractive. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom much 
longer than ordinary sorts. They produce abundantly on long stems, making them most 
desirable for cutting. 
The more the flowers are cut the more freely they will bloom.
