CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
The varieties in this Collection are all of the easiest culture and require no 
special attention beyond the usual care given to other annual flowers. 
Work up the ground and pulverize the surface thoroughly. Sow the seed 
broadcast and cover or rake in lightly. The seed will germinate soon after 
the first rain following the sowing. If sown later in the season when natural 
rainfall cannot be depended upon, they should be watered regularly until 
well started and irrigated at intervals thereafter during their growing season. 
Price: The entire Souvenir Collection, postpaid, 50c.
