Flower Seeds 
No home is complete without its flower garden, even 
if it is of small size. Ii there is but room for a vege- 
table garden, plant flowers along its edges. They will 
add to the appearance of the garden and cheer the gar¬ 
dener in his work by their bright colors. A careful 
selection of flower seed will insure a succession of bright 
colored blooms from early spring until late fall. The 
following are the best of the flowers for all-season 
bloom. 
Antirrhinum - Snapdragon 
For continuous bloom from early summer to frost, 
there is no perennial that equals the Antirrhinum, or 
Snapdragon. It produces a profusion of richly colored 
spikes of bloom that are unexcelled for cutting as they 
last a long time in water. While a perennial, seed sown 
early in spring will produce blooms the same year, 
but if earlier blooms are desired, seed should be sown 
under glass in February or March. They vary in color 
from white through all shades of pink to the deepest 
garnet, yellows, and numerous combinations of color. 
Average height 2 feet. 
Bachelor’s Buttons 
One of the prettiest of our blue flowers which also 
comes in a pure white and a rose form. Everyone 
knows the “Cornflower,” another name given it. It 
is very hardy, of the easiest culture, and a profuse 
bloomer. 
Balsam 
This is more familiarly known as the “Lady Slip¬ 
per,” and is so well known as to need little description. 
Seed sown in May will soon produce handsome bushes 
Branching Asters. 
Antirrhinum. 
covered with large roselike flowers of pink, red, yel¬ 
low, white and various combinations of colors. Height 
l'/2 feet. 
Ageratum 
One of the best of the annuals, and indispensable in 
every flower garden for contrast with such plants as 
geraniums, alyssum, candytuft, and the like. They vary 
in color from pure white to blue and rose, and the dwarf 
blue sorts are excellent for border planting. Thrives 
in almost any soil and location and blooms the whole 
season. They vary in height from 5 inches to a foot, 
and the fluffy flowers are borne in full clusters. 
Asters 
One of the most popular garden flowers because of 
its beautiful blooms and its ability to thrive in any soil. 
It is a profuse bloomer and its blooms are as lasting as 
those of the chrysanthemum and equally lovely in color. 
Sow seed /i inch deep in open ground for plants which 
will bloom in September and October. Transplant, 
when plants have three or four leaves. 12 to 18 inches 
apart each way. For July and August flowers, sow in 
March or April, in the cold frame or in pots or boxes 
indoors. Our seed is composed of the best selected 
strains and will produce blooms of all shades—crimson, 
dark blue, light blue, pink, and white. 
Sweet Alyssum 
The extreme hardiness and free-flowering qualities of 
this annual have combined to make it most popular. 
It is excellent for borders, baskets, pots, rockwork, and 
cutting. Sow in masses in the garden early in the spring, 
or even the previous autumn. If cut back after the first 
flowers fade, others will come. It produces an enormous 
quantity of either yellow or white flower-heads in a 
season.
