Salmagundi doesn’t always mean pickles. Dictionary yives 
one meaning of it as ‘‘a medley,’’ and that surely describes 
this particular Salmagundi. It is a mixture of a little, 
sometimes more, of about everything we list; annuals. rock- 
ery perennials, border perennials. bulb seeds, wild flowers. 
house plants, succulents, Cacti, Irises, Lilies, Roses, even 
tree, vine and shrub seeds. You are likely to find almost 
anything in it, and probably will. The seeds are year old, 
mostly. They won’t all grow, but a whole lot of them will; 
and if you can’t get enough out of a sowing, considering 
low price, and the rarity of many of the kinds, to make it 
worth your while, we are afraid there is not much hope for 
you as a gardener. No guarantee, though. Salmagundi is 
the answer to where old seeds go. Not less than \% oz. 
sold. %4 oz. 20c; 1% oz. 35c; 1 oz. 60c; % Ib. $2.00;
