Suburban Wild Garden Mixture 
Our mixture of seeds for the Wild Garden has gained great favor, and has proved a marked success with a great 
many of the amateur and professional gardeners by its particularly pleasing varieties, blooming so continuously through¬ 
out the Summer, and is composed of such varieties as will produce a most brilliant contrast of colors. To those who have 
usually planned for fancy and decorative flower gardens and carefully planned borders, and w r ho know the volume of 
time and labor required, to have the best possible effect produced, w r e feel justified in recommending for use the “Suburban 
Wild Garden Mixture”; also to those who cannot give the required attention. 
The beautiful results obtained from this mixture, and the little amount of time and labor required in the sowing of 
same, make this Suburban Wild Garden one of the most desirable and at the same time least expensive flower gardens. 
This mixture is especially adapted for w aste places, or rather corners and extra patches wdiere weeds seem to predomi¬ 
nate and nothing of value seems to find a place, and where the soil is moderately rich. 
Suburban Wild Garden Mixture is composed of the best flowering annuals which are both for cut flower use and 
bedding effects and contains at least over two hundred varieties. 
One of the pleasing features of this mixture is the fact that as the season advances, something different seems to come 
to bloom; something not looked for, indicating some later variety.
