FLOWER SEEDS 

Because of conditions in Europe, from whence many of the finest flower seeds were imported in former 
years, we are listing in our 1942 catalogue only some of the popular varieties that can be raised with out- 
standing assurance on American soil. The seeds on this and the following page are grown for us by the most 
reliable seed growers. As the originator of the Zinnia in this.country, we especially recommend our un- 
surpassed strain. Particularly noteworthy, also, are the seeds in the Landreth Surprise Garden Annual 
Mixture and the Dwarf Double Gem Mixed Nasturtium packets. 
ASTERS 
(Callistephus) 
Normal germination, 5-10 days 
Crego’s Giant Branching Comet—This class,

the most popular variety grown. The flowers have

and often are curled and interlaced. Blooms mid- 
summer. 2 feet. (Wilt resistant.) 
Early Queen of the Market—The best early 
among the Asters. Habit branching. Flowers 
double and nearly round. Plants 18 inches high
