Sweet Alyssum 
Jackson’s Choice Flower Seeds Are From The 
Foremost Growers in America and Europe 
We specialize in flower seeds and list only varieties which have been 
tried and proven successful in our section of the country. A home can 
hardly be called a home without some bright colored flowers blooming 
in the yard, and adding cheer to the surroundings. Flowers, when care 
is exercised and common sense is used, are not hard to grow, and every 
home, every farm and every park should abound in them, and the school 
yards should be a source of pride and beauty. 
Plant shrubs, but don’t plant all shrubs and no flowers as so many 
do, as you need bright flowers for a contrast in color. 
One thing should be borne in mind: flower seeds should never be 
planted in a cold, wet ground, as they are delicate and will not readily 
germinate in adverse weather conditions. They should never be planted 
deep and the ground should be thoroughly prepared. A little care and 
attention will work wonders in a flower garden.
