WILD FLOWER MIXTURE 
2009 A splendid mixture of true California wild flowers so 
blended as to give a succession of bloom from early spring 
to mid-summer. The seed should be sown in a prepared seed 
bed. They may be planted from fall to early spring—a longer 
bloom resulting from the fall planting. If you have a piece 
of ground you cannot irrigate, or have not time to give par- 
ticular attention, yet you want to have something beautiful 
instead of unsightly weeds, we advise you to plant our Wild 
Flower Mixture. Five pounds of seed is sufficient to plant 
an acre. Pkt, 15c; oz. 75c; 1% Ib. $2.50; Ib, $9.00.

ruary to May. Germination period three weeks.
