Sow HOLMES’ Flower Seeds 
for the 
GARDEN BEAUTIFUL 
In creating your garden picture, like the painter in 
oils, you must use superior quality materials to obtain 
the most pleasing effect. No amount of labor or fertilizer 
will counteract inferior seed. Sow Holmes’ Flower Seeds 
and have a GARDEN BEAUTIFUL. 
ANNUAL. Annual flowers complete their life circle 
within one growing season. They must 
be sown every year. 
PERENNIAL. These last for several years, withstand- 
ing considerable frost, provided the soil 
is well drained. 
Start Your Plants Indoors. Get the jump 
on spring, and your neighbors, too, by 
starting some of your seeds indoors this 
year. 
Assure proper drainage in the box you 
choose by boring holes every 3 to 5 
inches. Cover these with broken crock- 
ery. Add coarse and then finely sieved 
soil. Firm. 
Sow seed thinly and cover lightly— 
five times the diameter of the seeds. 
Cover box with glass and place in warm 
but shady location until seedlings ap- 
pear. Move to sunny window and grad- 
ually remove glass as seedlings grow. 
Transplant when several inches tall.
