BRECK’S 
MIXTURE 
Thousands of our customers have expressed great pleasure 
in the results they have obtained from growing Breck’s Surprise 
Garden Mixture of annual flowers. It is by far the easiest way 
to make a garden, and affords the ideal means by which a busy 
man or woman can supply himself or herself with flowers with 
the least distraction from business or other affairs. 
In the Spring, when the gardening desire is the strongest 
and the tide of interest in outdoor pursuits rises to its flood, it 
is a simple matter to have a piece of sunny ground dug deeply 
and well fertilized. After the surface has been pulverized and 
raked fine, scatter the contents of one, or several, packets of 
Breck’s Surprise Garden Mixture over it, raking lightly once 
more to cover the seeds, and then await results. 
Watch out for weeds which you are familiar with and pull 
them out as soon as they appear. Within a 
few weeks the growth of flowers will be so 
thick that weeds cannot survive.

Then enjoy the harvest of beauty which 
will reward your earlier efforts. All Summer 
and Autumn, without trouble, without care, 
these gay annual flowers will brighten your 
garden and your home. 
For the Surprise Garden Mixture we have 
selected hundreds of easily grown annuals 
which will delight you with unsurpassed 
beauty from Spring until frost. Do not sow 
these seeds too thickly. To be frank, the 
more space you can cover with a single 
package, the better the results will be.
