FLOWER SEEDS 
FOR FLORISTS AND PLANT GROWERS WHO WANT THE BEST 
Now that the Victory Gardeners have a year of experience behind them, they 
are going to realize that flowers can’t be neglected entirely. Many of them are 
going to plant “flowers for morale’”’ in their vegetable gardens. Be ready for them 
by having plants of the easy to grow annuals and perennials for sale. We know 
your greenhouse and hot bed space is going to be taxed to the limit, so make 
every inch of space count. Plant seed that is true to name, that germinates well, 
that grows well. Our seed has an enviable record of past performance. Thousands 
of customers of many years standing will testify that you can’t go wrong if you 
plant Harris Seed. 
Remember too that now, as never before, the wholesale markets can use good 
outdoor grown cut flowers: Bachelor Button and Larkspur can be sown in the 
fall. Unwin Dahlias, Marigolds and Snapdragons and Asters had best be started 
indoors but Gaillardia and Zinnias may be sown directly in the field in May 
and Calendulas in late June for large, well formed, long stemmed flowers in the fall.

Harris’ ASTERS 
The work that has been done on this crop by our experiment stations and individual florists 
puts the aster in top place as a paying crop. Breeding for resistance to some diseases is a great 
step forward. The use of lights on transplants to hasten flowering and of cloth houses to keep out 
insects which spread ‘‘yellows”’ are proving invaluable aids in successful production of this uni- 
versally favorite flower. Asters rank next in importance to Gladiolus as cut flowers and should be 
included in every planting.

“T want to tell you about the Asters I received from you last year—I actually had Aster plants 4 V6 ft. 
tall with stems 2 to 2% ft. long. My seed in the future will be from your company.”
