ANNUAL ROCK GARDEN SEEDS 
For quick results in the Rock Garden we offer a mixture of 
seed of those annuals growing from about four inches to one 
foot in height, all of good bright colors, many of them coming 
into bloom in a few weeks from sowing the seed. 
Many of the varieties in this mixture are hardy annuals, 
which self-sow and the following Spring would show many 
new plants coming up from the seed dropped this Fall. 
The best method we have found in using this seed mixture 
is to sow the seed in a space large enough to allow of the seeds 
being well distributed and as the plants come up and reach 
a size large enough to transplant, it is not difficult to dis¬ 
tinguish the different kinds, which may be taken out and 
grouped together at different locations selected in the Rock 
Garden. Pkt., Over 2000 seeds sti Over 5000 seeds 1 Of.
