Thousands of our customers have expressed great pleasure in the results they have 
obtained from growing Breck’s Surprise Garden Mixture of annual flowers. This 
beautifully colored special packet of Surprise Garden Mixture (illustrated) makes 
an ideal gift package especially for school children or for those who cannot give 
flowers the attention and care demanded in a formal garden. 
It is a simple matter to have a piece of sunny ground dug deeply and well- 
fertilized. After the surface has been pulverized and raked fine, scatter 
Breck’s Surprise Garden Mixture over it, raking lightly once more to cover 
the seeds, and then await results. 
Watch out for familiar weeds and grasses and pull them out as soon as 
they appear. Within a few weeks, the growth of flowers will be so thick 
that weeds cannot survive. 
Then enjoy the harvest of beauty which will reward your earlier 
efforts. All Summer and Autumn without trouble, without care, these 
gay annual flowers will brighten your garden and your home. 
Large packet in color, 25c; l / 4 lb. 85c; l/ 2 lb. $1.50; 1 lb. $2.50.

The annual flower borders of the hotels at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, are nationally 
famous. The long beds make vistas of riotous color, enchanting in gay harmony and 
infinite variety. We annually supply this famous mixture and we recommend it unre¬ 
servedly. It includes only flowers of the choicer types and of medium height, producing 
a continuous and artistic mass effect.

MIXTURE 
Things You Should Know 
In order to aid you in the selection of seeds for a particularly difficult location, or for some special purpose, we have made up the following suggestive lists. 
We cannot definitely state that all those mentioned for partially shaded places will thrive in the particular location you have in mind, for all Annuals delight in 
sunshine, and the listing of these items only indicates that they will tolerate more shade than the average. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that those suggested 
for hot, dry places will always succeed, but we do feel, unless some other unfavorable condition exists, that they will do reasonably well.
