BUTZER’S FLOWER SEEDS 
STANDARD VARIETIES, NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES 
Plant flowers for your table, flowers for your home, and flowers for your friends. You can never have too 
many flowers. An abundance of pretty bouquets can be had with so little work and so little expense that every 
home should have the cheering influence of flowers. The culture of many is so very simple that anyone can 
succeed. Flowers are divided into three classes: Annuals, which produce flowers, mature and die in one season. 
Biennials, which grow from seed one year and bloom and die the second year. Many of these will produce 
flowers the first year if sown early enough. Perennials, which live several years, producing flowers annually 
after first season. These are grown from seed, also by setting out cuttings, slips, or divisions of roots. Peren¬ 
nials are very satisfactory, as they live many years and produce large quantities of very beautiful flowers.
