FLOWER SEED MIXTURES 
Our “Variety Mixtures” and “Color Mix¬ 
tures” are actually made by blending together 
the proper amounts of seed of the same care¬ 
fully grown separate kinds we offer as named 
varieties. These mixtures of ours are vastly 
superior to “mixed colors” generally sold out of 
stores. You know the colors and don’t have to 
gamble. 
A SUGGESTION FOR YOU 
Sow some flower seed in your vegetable gar¬ 
den. The soil is usually very well prepared and it 
is much easier cultivating your flowers together 
with your vegetables. It’s a splendid way to grow 
an abundance of flowers for bouquets.
