We offer all the best worth-while new flowers and a 
complete list of all standard varieties. 
Our quality is the highest; our germination is 
strong and very high. 
Annuals and Perennials. Throughout our Cata¬ 
logue the class of each flower is designated, whether it is 
an Annual, Biennial, or Perennial. 
Days Required for Seed to Germinate. After 
each kind we give the approximate number of days it 
requires for the seed to germinate. However, sunshine, 
moisture, depth of planting, and condition of seed-bed 
have much to do with proper and healthy germination. 
Please Note. If conditions are right you will always 
have success with our flower seeds because there is 
no question or guessing about their vitality. We prove 
that by exhaustive tests before they are sold. 
Extra Seeds Free. For every dollar’s worth of 
Flower Seeds in packets you purchase, you may select 
extra packets to the amount of 30 cents. 
It is Important to Have a Good Seed-bed where the tiny 
new-born plants will be properly nursed. Have the soil worked 
very fine, work in manure—Wizard Brand Pulverized Sheep 
Manure is the very thing needed—we have it—cover the seeds 
lightly; after they have sprouted do not let the soil dry out or 
the tender sprouts will die and that will end it as far as that 
seed is concerned. When moistening the seed-bed do it with a 
very fine spray, never with a hose unless it can be made to make 
a very fine misty spray. Sow seed in rows so the plants may be 
kept weeded and cultivated. Then transplant where you want 
them to bloom. In lifting leave as much earth on the roots as 
surface broken always, for plants get more nourishment from

Here Are Three Books I Highly 
Recommend to You 
If you are especially interested in growing flowers from seed 
sown in the spring—those producing a wealth of bloom in the 
flower-garden and for cutting during summer and fall, then 
order “A Little Book of Annuals.” Price $1.50. If you are 
growing perennials, the hardy flowers that stand the winters 
and bloom year after year, then order “A Little Book of 
Perennials.” Price $1.50. If you are deeply interested in 
floriculture, everything about flowers—then by all means order 
“Commercial Floriculture,” a book by Fritz Bahr, a great 
practical authority on the subject. Price $5.50. This book will 
give you more real practical help than you could get in twenty- 
five years of personal experience.
