PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS —Since 1906 
Why Envy Your Neighbor of Her Beautiful Flowers 
You, too, can have a beautiful flower garden. Perfection Brand Seeds are of such a high 
germinating quality and are so reasonably priced that with a few dollars you can have a show 
place. A word about planting flower seeds—sow the seeds either broadcast or in rows and cover 
lightly—a good general rule is to cover four to five times the size of the seeds—and press soil 
firmly. Small seeds cannot come up if covered too deep. Very fine seeds should be sown on the 
surface and pressed into the soil. 
CALENDULA (Orange Shaggy)—One of the 
most interesting and certainly the most dis¬ 
tinct of the new types is the laciniat^d petaled 
type, Orange Shaggy. Deep orange in color, it

in general use. Pkt., 15c.
