FLOWER SEEDS 
_ Mainland flower seed growers have only planted 25 per cent of their pre- 
war acreage for the past three years—the other 75 per cent was used for 
much needed vegetable seeds. Conditions are slightly better this season. 
We have been able to purchase all the flower seeds listed on the following 
pages. 
Flowers are divided into three classes—Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. 
Annuals—Plants which, when grown from seed, mature, flower and 
die in one year. This class of flowers is easily raised and adapted to 
special uses such as bedding, borders, backgrounds, rock gardens, 
etc. Many annuals are excellent for cutting—fragrant and colorful. 
May be planted for a succession of bloom all summer. 
Bienn*als—Plants which live two yeats, usually blooming only dur- 
ing the second year. 
Perennials—Plants which, when grown from seed, usually begin 
blooming the second year, and continue to live and bloom each suc- 
ceeding year. In some instances, these plants bloom the first year, 
from seed. 
The following list comprises the more popular varieties and those we put 
up in lithographed packets, selling for 10c each, unless otherwise marked. 
We have many dealers throughout the Islands who have pledged themselves 
to keep their stocks of packets clean and fresh. Buy from the dealer nearest 
you. If he happens to be out of the variety you want, ask him to send for it. 
‘We pack and ship fresh seeds the day we receive orders. You can rely on 
our seed packets at all times. 
Commercial Growers: We maintain adequate stocks of popular strains. 
All seeds stored at controlled temperatures so they will be strong and ready 
to plant when you are ready. Gladiola bulbs, grafted roses, berry bushes, 
asparagus roots, etc., all carried in season.
