Complete flower Gardens from Seed 
FOR $1.00 
F LOWER GARDENING is one of the most pleasurable and healthful of outdoor recreations, and when one “gardens with 
seeds” a fascinating interest is engendered that progresses from anticipation with the seed sowing to joyous satisfaction as 
the plants unfurl their glorious blossoms, reflecting beauty and refinement to their surroundings. 
Many of our most beautiful garden flowers are raised from seeds. Considering their ease of culture, the quick results, gorgeous 
effect and low cost of flower seeds, they should be more extensively employed for garden decoration in this country. In the gardens 
of Europe immense quantities of flower seeds are utilized, with which ^n endless variety of happy effects are produced. 
If the American Civic Association’s ideal, “America Beautiful,” is to be realized, it will be accomplished largely through the 
medium of flower seeds with which all who control a home plot of ground are enabled tojsffectively and cheaply transform any barren 
uninviting wastes into spots of beauty. ~ * 
One home with pleasingly embellished grounds is sure to be emulated in the neighborhood; then shortly there develops “the 
pretty section of the city” the pride of the dwellers, attractive to strangers and, in consequence, enhanced in property values. Many 
such homes and surroundings are required in the weave of “America Beautiful.” 
To aid in popularizing these ideals we have collated collections of flower seeds for different purposes. These collections are 
composed of only tried and choice kinds studiously selected to furnish a varied, profuse and continuous display of flowers throughout 
the season, including some that are equally valuable as cut flowers for vases, etc. 
We offer these collections at lowest possible prices consistent with high quality.
