RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 
We present the following list as our selection of the best 
and most reliable of both domestic and foreign grown 
varieties and strains and feel sure they will please the 
most critical lover of flowers. We use every effort to pro¬ 
cure the very best strains obtainable and spare no expense 
to accomplish same. 
(A) ANNUALS are those flowers that bloom and ripen 
their seed the first year, then die. Among these will be 
found Asters, Balsam, Mignonette, Sweet Peas, Nastur¬ 
tiums, Morning Glories, and many other very brilliant and 
fragrant flowers. In fact, if you want flowers early in the 
season, and all the time until frost, a good selection of 
Annuals will not disappoint you. 
(P) PERENNIALS are those flowers that endure our 
Winters with little or no protection, and live and bloom 
several years in succession. A large majority of the Peren¬ 
nials will bloom the first year if started early in the Spring. 
Hollyhocks, Larkspurs, Foxglove, Poppies, etc., are in this 
popular class.
