SEEDS OF FLOWERING PLANTS 
ANNUALS • BIENNIALS • PERENNIALS 
In this catalogue we have made but one list of all our Flower Seeds. Whether they are Annuals, Biennials or Perennials they are 
catalogued alphabetically according to their botanical names, except in cases such as that of Asters or Nasturtiums where the common 
names are so universally used that to list any other would be confusing. 
After each variety we have given the common name of the flower—if there is one that is at all well known—and under each heading 
we have indicated the correct classification (Annual, Biennial or Perennial) or the treatment that is best suited to the individual item, in New 
England. We have also given hints as to the more common uses of each variety and the heights to which they may be expected to grow. 
We call particular attention to the special pricing of 3 packet lots of individual Flower Seed item's. This special price for three 
packets, only applies when three packets bearing the same catalogue number are purchased. 
Please order by number and be sure that you have copied the numbers correctly.
