FLOWER SEED 
Our flower seeds are grown by recognized specialists in California, and 
they are just as good as you can get, regardless of the glowing descrip¬ 
tions, and high sounding adjectives used by many seed houses. This grow¬ 
ing of flower seeds, under ideal conditions, is centered in a small dis¬ 
trict in California, where they are grown and shipped to every section 
of the world. Our seed are the best they grow; they are no better than 
you can get from other first-class seedsmen, but they are identical in every 
respect. We do not mix old crop seed with new crop, so you may expect 
to get nearly 100 per cent germination from the seed we send out. Also, 
you can save about one-half on your seed bill; that is something to re¬ 
member.
