WILD FLOWER BLENDS 
Most wild flowers, (there are exceptions), may be grown 
from seed with fair readiness. Directions are included in 
special cultural notes sent out with all seeds. Bear in 
mind that there is nothing about a flower being wild in a 
given area that makes it either easier or harder to grow 
than other flowers. All flowers are wild flowers in some 
part of the earth. 
WILD FLOWERS FOR SUN—At least one hundred differ- 
ent and delightful wild flowers are in this mixture, but 
not, of course, in equal proportions. Here are Windflowers, 
Lychnis, certain Gentians, Monarda, Gay Feather, Butter- 
cup, Shooting Star, Datura, Golden and Purple Asters, 
Petalostemon, False Indigo, Cassia, Lepachys, Black-eyed 
Susan, Sundrop, Lilies, Camassia, Bellflower, Penstemon, 
Flowering Cactus, Centaurea maculosa, Saponaria, Yucca, 
Wild Rose, Dove Mullein, Tradescantia, several Violets, etc. 
Blossoms from spring until late in autumn are here. Par- 
ticularly good for use in old fields, along roadsides and 
the like. 4% oz. 20c; % oz. 35c; 1 oz. $1.00; 14 Ib. $3.75;

THE FLOWER BROADCAST 
For great spreads of long color in field or border, on hill- 
side or rough waste land. It is a blend of vigorous, easily 
naturalized kinds, both perennials and annuals, that may 
have their seeds broadcast right where effect is desired. 
Even with minimum of soil preparation, there will usually 
be a fair showing, but the more the soil can be broken up 
and fined, whether by plow, harrow, fork or just rake 
scratching, the better will be eventual results. Surface 
should have some light raking and as much firming as 
possible after seed has been broadcast. It helps if undesir- 
able weedy plants that might compete wth young seedlings, 
are destroyed first. Species in this blend are mostly not 
wild flowers in usual sense, but instead kinds of gay color 
that establish readily and that have natural tendency to 
spread through their own self-sowings. Included are seeds 
of not less than 75 species, not in equal proportions, some 
quite well-known flowers, many others on the rare and dis- 
tinctive side. Sunny places. For summer-long display year 
after year. 14 07. 2e: % oz. 40c; 1 oz. 75c; 1% lb. $2.75; 
1 Ib. $10.00; 5 lb. $47.50.

one has better facilities for making up such a mixture, 
considering the large number of rare and desirable kinds 
that we actually grow and offer. Remember, some will be

with seeds, gives directions for this. 
yt—Seeds so marked should be sown in late autumn or 
earliest spring in outdoor seedbeds. If sown too late

autumn, (5) all autumn, (6) late autumn, (7) winter, 
(8) tends to be ever-blooming, (9) grown for fruit, form

PARENTHESIS indicates normal mature height in inches 
(or in feet if so specified), under good culture. A STAR 
(*) after a name indicates a perennial that will bloom 
first year from early sowing.

SALMAGUNDI doesn’t always mean pickles. One diction- 
ary meaning is ‘‘a medley,.’”’ and our particular SALMA- 
GUNDI, offered here, is surely that. It is a mixture of 
seeds of pretty nearly every thing we offer, including 
Treasure Chest listings, and of a few we don’t as yet 
catalog (left-overs from our own trial sowings). Of some 
kinds there will be just a trace, of others much, for this 
is where old seeds go. Seeds are mostly one-year old, a 
few older. They won’t all grow, but a lot of them will, 
and at low price at which this is sold, you can be pretty 
sure of getting excellent value in plants from it. NOTE 
PLEASE, that we cannot undertake to identify specimens 
sent in of plants grown from Salmagundi. We are too 
Short of help for that these days. Not less than %4 oz. 
sold. 4 oz. 20c; oz. 35¢; 1 oz. 60c; %4 Ib. $2.00.
