Annual Phlox Single Petunias 
Pansy 
Our seed is most carefully selected, and if the 
plants are given a cool, moist soil, protected from 
harsh winds and the mid-day sun, unusually large 
flowers will be produced. Their color is unsurpassed 
in brilliancy and markings. Sow seeds in mid¬ 
summer and protect plants over winter in a cold- 
frame. The blooms on plants from spring-sown seed 
will not be as large on account of summer heat. 
Mixed colors, pkt. 50 cts.; $3; oz. $ 10 . 
Petunia 
For window- and porch-boxes, as well as for bed¬ 
ding, Petunias are very elfective. Their large, 
trumpet-shaped, ruffled flowers vary from white to 
dark purple-violet and are borne in abundance from 
June to frost, and if kept indoors will bloom all 
winter. Our seed is carefully selected. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
50 cts.
