VAUGHAN’S SEED STORE, CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, BOOK FOR FLORISTS 
QuGhan's wats: Flower Seeds 









Buyers of seeds are dependent upon the experience, ability and integrity of the 
seedsmen to insure the quality and identity of the seeds they buy. Our customers 
are protected by the skill of an organization which for more than sixty years has 
specialized in seeds for florists. 
Carl Cropp, vice president of Vaughan’s Seed Store since 1884, and his son Carl 
Jr, are in touch with expert growers; by frequent inspection trips and careful 
checking in our trial gardens, they make sure that we supply you with the best 
seeds obtainable in the world. 
ma TESTING AND TRIALS 
Flower Seeds for Summer Sowing.—We issue a special catalogue in June. 
Should you fail to receive one, please write for it. 
Seed Stocks Are Short! 
All the flowers you can grow this year will be assured of a market at good prices. Production has 
been short and all indications are that it will continue so; while demand is at a record level. In spite 
7 of the difficulties due to war, we hold stocks or expect delivery of every item listed. Since replace- 
ments are uncertain, however, we urge you to order early, to make sure of obtaining your season’s 
requirements in full. A heavy demand for vegetable plants in the spring should be expected. 



Every lot of flower seed sold 
by us is tested in OUR 
OWN laboratory, where we prove the germination and make certain that the 
percentage is up to the high level of our standards. Trueness to type is determined 
and checked by the hundreds of tests grown in our greenhouses and trial grounds. 
For Seeds of Perennials and Biennials, see pages 37 to 50. 
Trade packets contain considerably more seed than ordinary or retail 
packets, being based on Florists’ needs for ordinary purposes. 
Florists invariably get trade packets unless otherwise specified. 
Quantities of 14 lb. and over are charged at the pound rate; unless stated 
otherwise, 1% lb. is at the oz. rate; 14 oz. is at the ounce rate only when the 
price per ounce is 20c or more and ¥% oz. rate is not otherwise quoted. 
We do not sell 14 oz. where the price per ounce is 15c or less. 
Cash Discounts on Flower Seeds: On all orders for flower 
seeds, totaling less than $25.00, 5%, and over $25.00, 8%, may
