HALLAWELL’S CALIFORNIA WILD, FLOWERS 
A MIXTURE OF HARDY, EASILY GROWN VARIETIES. 
Wild Flowers are beautiful in all regions. In California they come in such 
great variety that visitors from other states always want to send some ‘'to 
the folks back home’’. To supply this popular demand, some years ago we 
formulated a mixture of the more easily grown annuals, and have had each 
year many complimentary reports, not only from Eastern friends but from 
Californians as well. 
Successive sowings of Wild Flower seed will provide bloom almost the year 
round in California, especially in the cooler regions and if the plants can be 
concentrate your efforts on the clear spaces and assure success by scarifying 
the soil to make it easier for the seeds to root. 
One ounce of seed will sow 150 to 200 square feet in a home garden planting, 
while one pound to 5,000 square feet is recommended for a city lot—broadcast 
planting. For hillside or field planting, 5 to 8 pounds per acre, depending upon 
the existing growth of wild shrubs. Mix an equal quantity of sand or soil 
to aid the distribution.

watered. Although they respond best to careful soil preparation, scatter- 
plantings are successful if the seed is sown at seasons when the plants will 
have benefit of rainfall. In areas where wild shrubs abound, it is better to 
WILD AND HARDY CULTIVATED VARIETIES MIXED.
