Annual Flower Seeds 
For Wild Gardens 
A surprise collection, containing practi¬ 
cally every annual in existence 
Large borders, along carriage drives 
and woodland walks, shrubbery borders, 
and the like, may be pleasingly bright¬ 
ened as a result of freely sowing mixed 
flower seeds. The expense involved is 
very nominal in comparison with the 
wealth of bloom obtained. Such plant¬ 
ings will be a continuous source of joy¬ 
ous surprise to you as, among the many 
growing annuals, you recognize old 
friends or discover new ones. And at 
blooming time, some of the cheery 
flowers may be cut and transferred 
indoors without noticeably lessening 
the charm of the outdoor plantings. 
Be careful not to sow the seeds too close 
together, as suitable space for plant 
development will contribute to the 
effectiveness of your planting. Oz. 25 
cts., Hlb. 75 cts., lb. $2.25.
