TUCKERS’ SEED HOUSE, CARTHAGE, MISSOURI 
Flower Seeds 
To grow flowers well, the soil must be carefully prepared as for vegetables. Spade the beds to a 
good depth and make them rich with well rotted manure, thoroughly mixed in. A small quantity of 
sand will greatly improve stiff, heavy clay. Don’t bury your seeds. Plant the largest, like Nasturtiums, 
not more than an inch deep; Balsams, half an inch; Asters, a quarter of an inch; Petunias, Poppies, etc., 
on the surface. Firm the soil over the seeds with a board and keep it constantly moist. Don’t allow 
seedlings to crowd each other. Transplant in cloudy weather or in the evening and shade from the sun 
a day or two.

FLOWERS FROM SEED ARE USUALLY KNOWN AS ANNUALS, BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. 
ANNUALS bloom and ripen seed the first year and then perish. 
BIENNIALS do not generally flower the first season and are in perfection only one year. 
PERENNIALS continue to flower for several years in succession. Many of them bloom the first 
year if sown early. KEY—Annuals, (A). Biennials, (B). Perennials, (P)
