FLOWER SEED 
F LOWERS are easily raised from seeds. The seeds we offer are the products of 
the best American and European growers; no better strains available. Com¬ 
plete directions for sowing are printed on each packet. 
CLASSIFICATION: Flowers are known as An¬ 
nuals, Biennials, and Perennials. 
Annuals bloom and ripen seed the first year, then 
perish. 
Biennials seldom bloom the first year, but attain 
perfection the second year. 
Perennials * flower several 
years in succession, many bloom¬ 
ing the first year from seed sown 
early, and are used for perma¬ 
nent plantings. 
WHEN TO SOW SEED: 
Hardy Perennials and Biennials 
may be sown either in early fall 
or spring and require no protection 
through the winter. 
Hardy Annuals may be sown 
either in late fall or spring. But no 
spring sowing of any class should be 
done until frost is past and the 
ground mellow. 
A tabulated list of Perennials and 
Hardy Biennials may be found on 
page 31.

Snapdragons are among the most popular 
bedding plants ; the richness and diversity of 
their colors, their great freedom and pro¬ 
tracted blooming season giving them great 
value for garden color masses, as well as for 
cutting. They have dark glossy leaves; and 
pea-shaped flowers with uniquely marked 
throats, set densely in long, upright racemes. 
They bloom in July from seed sown outdoors 
in early May; but for earlier bloom, seed 
should be started indoors during March. Suc¬ 
ceed best in dry loamy soil.
