All Summer FLOWER SEEDS 
Loads of Beautiful Flowers 
Flowers are something everyone should 
be interested in. They do so much to 
make the home beautiful and lovely. The 
flowers outside a home largely reveal the 
character within. 
From just a few packets of seed you 
will be able to cut flowers by the basket¬ 
fuls all summer and by doing so they just 
bloom all the harder. 
Our seeds germinate quickly. All are 
tested and sent to you in big full-measure 
packets with instructions for planting on 
the back of each packet. 
This year we are offering plants, too, 
of many of our finer varieties. All are 
grown from the finest selected seed 
stocks, transplanted and “topped,” which 
means healthy, vigorous tops, as well as 
sturdy roots. Postpaid and satisfaction 
guaranteed. Send your order for plants 
right along with your seed order and we 
will mail the plants at the proper plant¬ 
ing time. 
All Flower Seed Prices Are Postpaid.
