THOS. GRISWOLD & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE, 
LOWERS should be in 
every garden, they not 
only help to beautify 
the home but give you 
a healthy out-door oc¬ 
cupation in caring for 
them. Many a person 
would enjoy better 
health to-day if they 
had something to inter¬ 
est and bring them out 
more into the sunshine and pure air, 
and what is better for this than a nice 
flower garden, for any one that loves 
flowers. Let the children have a little 
flower garden and teach them the value 
and care of flowers, they will take 
more interest in them than you may 
think. Try a few of the old fashion 
varieties that your mother and grand¬ 
mother used to grow, and are so popu¬ 
lar to-day. We give very liberal pack¬ 
ets for the money probably double 
what some seedmen give.
