UE to the war it is impossible to obtain many varieties of the best flower seeds that 
have been grown for us in Europe. We are, therefore, temporarily curtailing our 
Flower Seed Department since it is Landreths’ established policy to sell only those 
products that can be definitely recommended as the very best. 
As the originator of the Zinnia in this country more than 140 years ago and as the 
producers of an unsurpassed strain, we are continuing to supply Zinnia seeds as well 
as Sweet Peas, Nasturtiums, Asters, Marigolds, Herbs and other varieties that can be 
produced for seeds in American soil. In this year’s catalogue we are listing only a very 
few of the Flower Seeds that are in stock. Inquiries regarding varieties not listed will 
receive our immediate attention.
