From early Spring until killing frost there is a procession of color. It is not a collection 
of leftovers; but a carefully prepared formula of more than eighty different annual 
«flowers, many of which you have never seen. We want you to know them, and you 
6 will be delighted to make their acquaintance and probably will want to order separately 
another year. Furnishes an unending amount of cutting material and a daily surprise 
to see what will appear next. This mixture does not contain seeds of vines, nasturtium, 
etc. Allow plenty of space to avoid crowding, keep watered and weeded, and remove 
faded flowers. Use these packets (1 oz., each 25c) for friends on their birthdays.
