Get the Most from Your Seeds and Plants 
This book has been written for the amateur flower 
and vegetable grower. Through it we hope to help you 
have a garden this season that will be better than any 
you have ever had before. We have not attempted to 
catalogue all of the varieties of flowers and vegetables 
under cultivation, but have confined ourselves to those 
which have proved themselves, in the gardens of our 
customers, to be the most satisfactory. We want you 
to know that our interest in the success of your gar¬ 
den extends beyond the filling of your seed and plant 
order, and if there is any way in which we can be of 
help to you in the selection of varieties, the planting, 
or in the care and cultivation of flowers and vege¬ 
tables, to feel absolutely free to call on us for advice. 
Flowers for 
Different Situations 
ANNUALS—These are plants the seed of which must 
be sown each year. 
BIENNIALS—These grow from seed the first year, 
bloom and die the next year. 
PERENNIALS—Seed sown from early spring to 
August makes plants that bloom the following year, 
live on for a number of years and will survive the 
winters of the North.
