Each year, some 1500 items 
are on trial here at West 
Chicago so we can be sure 
we are giving you “All the 
best—Nothing else.” 

MISCELLANEOUS ANNUALS 

Our “Miscellaneous Annuals” list assumes new importance this season to you as a cut-flower and 
plant grower. The absence of several important crops from your list of available material for the 
coming season makes more imperative than ever, a close scanning of all available items; not only to 
find substitutes for the missing varieties, but to supply that ever-present demand for “something new.” 
We have added several interesting new plants to the following list this season. If they sound interest- 
ing at all, we’re sure a trial will be very worth while. 

(*) Indicates varieties most dependably satisfactory in our 
experience and observation. 
How Many Seeds Per Ounce? 
In reply to numerous requests we include with this catalog again 
the number of seeds per ounce of important items listed. For 
example: Abutilon Mixed—7000 S. means 7000 seeds per ounce. 
These figures must not be accepted as indicating the number of 
plants to be expected. Under favorable germinating conditions 
most large seeds will germinate 50 to 60 per cent.
