Our flower seeds are collected from all over the world, each being the particularly bright favorite of 
some corner of the globe. For the price of a few packets of seeds the flower beauty of the whole world is 
yours — for your own garden. 
A very great many people depend upon plants rather than upon seed for their flowers. This is perfectly 
satisfactory but somewhat expensive. Practically every variety we offer is easily grown from seed and a 
single packet of even the most expensive varieties will furnish many plants. 
Here are a few helpful hints to remember when sowing flower seeds: 
1. The best soil is a rich loam made as fine and as smooth as possible. 
2. Never cover seeds more than three times their diameter. 
3. Very fine seeds should be simply pressed into the soil. 
4. Mix fine seeds with sand to insure proper distribution in sowing. 
5. Thin adequately to allow room for proper development. 
6. Keep blossoms well picked to insure continuous blooming.
