WILD FLOWER MIXTURES, CALIFORNIA. 
Will grow almost anywhere, cover vacant lots and 
bare corners, and furnish cut-flowers. An ideal sou- 
venir! 
Cultural Note: Best sown in late fall in all climates, 
since they will bloom in late winter and spring in a 
mild region, yet lie dormant and sprout and bloom 
in early spring in the cold sections of the U. S. They 
may still be sown, with sure results, as late as April 
in Southern Calif., and June in the cooler sections. 
Broadcasting the seed, mixed with sand, over finely- 
pulverized soil in the open is the best plan. Rake-in 
very lightly, or merely.cover with scattered soil or 
peat. If in the fall, do not water; if in the spring 
when natural rainfall cannot be depended upon, keep 
moist until sprouted, and irrigate thereafter. 
Campbell’s Special Mixtures, in contrast to many 
cheap mixtures, contain only California natives. The 
two mixtures are alike (with more than 20 species

bloom), with this exception: There is no California 
Poppy in mixture No. 2, for those who may have 
these bright flowers already established.
