"Heatherhome” Guaranteed Flower Seeds 
In order to facilitate selections and to avoid disappointments we have separated the differ¬ 
ent kinds of flowers, each according to its class and purpose intended; as, for instance, "Hardy 
and Half Hardy Annuals,” a class of flowers requiring about the same kind of culture and all 
intended for the out-door garden. 
"Hardy Perennials” is a class of flowers which really requires a different kind of care. 
They should be sown at a particular time of year, and they fit in a special spot in the garden. 
Every gardener knows how difficult it is to select the right kind of a vine, if you have to 
peruse every page of a seed book, and for this reason all the climbing plants are placed together. 
Again, we do this with plants requiring culture under glass, for here we find the non¬ 
professional gardener experiencing the most disappointment. Invariably the amateur will 
select these plants for garden culture, with the result that they are total failures. It is impossi¬ 
ble under our present classification. 
We offer no apology for the fact that illustrations are omitted from this book, for this has 
been done intentionally, but in their place we have given our readers the best word-picture we 
knew how to produce, believing that with this we can accomplish the same, if not better results. 
To those who know flowers, pictures are only exaggerations, apt to mislead, while enthusiastic 
descriptions cannot fail to reach oue’s interest; old acquaintances and friends of former years 
are renewed, while new ones are eagerly sought, if their charms attract. 
"Heatherhome Guaranteed Seeds” have distinctive quality stamped all over them. Many 
gardeners still doubt that there exists a vast difference of quality in seeds. This point could be 
argued at such length that it would require this entire book to bring out every argument in its 
favor, but even a beginner should be able to acknowledge that seeds saved from the most 
perfected specimen must produce something far superior to those saved promiscuously from 
any and all specimens. Even in the offerings of growers abroad one will find different flowers 
offered in three to five different grades, and one does not have even to go to Europe, but merely 
to inspect any of the well-known American Seed Books, and find therein offered certain mix¬ 
tures of flower-seeds in two or three qualities, such as Fine Mixed, Finest Mixed, nml Selected 
Mixture. 
We guarantee our seeds to be absolutely fresh, to be strong in germination, to be true 
to their specie, to be of superior quality, and to approach the description presented in this book. 
Should our seeds fail to germinate, or be not true to their specie, we either replace free of 
charge, or refund the original amount paid for same. 
But, we do not and cannot guarantee that seeds of a specie offered in certain colors, 
will all come true to the color designated, for it is beyond human power to produce such seeds. 
In order to make this point clear to all, we have prefaced all such varieties with ^§) meaning 
that only a certain percentage of the seeds will prove to be the color mentioned.
