New Flowers and Thrills in Surprise 
Garden Mixture, 25c 
(171). If you want a thrill and a real adventure 
in gardening this year be sure and sow this mixture 
liberally. You will be repaid by the many unusual 
varieties which will appear during the season. We 
buy for this mixture annual varieties which are at¬ 
tractive and easily grown but many of them little 
known, and the result is a continual succession of 
happy surprises. Plant freely but not too thickly 
(if too crowded together the plants will be weak and 
drawn and will soon fade away) and your reward 
will be a multitude of cut flowers all season. Vi oz., 
15c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 80c; 1 lb., $3.00.
