own choice productions, augmented by a small percentage from some of the best standard varietiés known.

Some seed might produce flowers similar to the parent flower, but the continuous ‘activity of bees ti 
carrying pollen from one flower to another, makes it possible to produce blooms entirely unlike the parent 
flower, and what is still more fascinating, some might differ from any in existence. The thrill of creating 
new varieties of one’s own, that can be named by the one who produced them, has a special appeal to all 
lovers of flowers. 
Seed is now offered in three separate mixtures, as follows: 
1. Superb Mixture. Seed from some of the finest exhibition varieties, 
with many rich forms and colors. 
2. Select Mixture. Seed from large and medium blooms of decorative, 
cactus and peony-flowered varieties. 
3, Popular Mixture. Seed from popular types of soa with many 
interesting and attractive features. 
All packets of seed are systematically made up as follows: 
Packets of 20 seeds, selected from 5 varieties. 
Packets of 50 seeds, selected from 10 varieties. 
Packets of 100 seeds, selected from 20 varieties. 
Prices. While they last, seed will be sent postpaid at the following prices,
