PALMER SEED COMPANY, ST. LOUIS, MO. 
SELECT QUALITY SEEDS OF ANNUAL FLOWERS 
Due to the ever increasing demand for a finer selection of flower seeds 
suitable for this climate, we have again revised our list this year, omitting 
several varieties of questionable value and adding many newer and better 
introductions of merit. We feel that every variety of flower seed we offer can 
be successfully grown in the Middle West. Further, we have continued our 
policy of careful selection and offer seed of the highest purity and vitality 
obtainable from the most eminent European and American plant breeders. 
We especially solicit the patronage of discriminating gardeners who have 
been accustomed to sending to far off Eastern and European sources for their 
seeds. We assure you we have complete and reliable stocks here in St. Louis 
and are prepared to give you the quality and conscientious service so im¬ 
portant to successful gardening. On that basis, we urge you to come to 
Palmer’s for your supplies of flower seeds this season and assure you of 
careful and exacting 'attention to your orders.
