Growing conditions 
in Colorado are exceptionally well suited to 
the production of flower seed. The rich irrigated farm lands ex- 
tending from Rocky Ford to the mountains are ideal for zinnias and 
other flowers that do well in a warm, arid climate. The cool nights 
alternately force and check growth of plants and result in great 
hardiness. 
High up in the Montezuma Valley near Cortez, Colorado we have 
a growing station for Asters, Snapdragon, Larkspur, Shasta Daisy 
and other flowers requiring a cool climate. The rich, red soil and 
abundance of cool, clear water for irrigation give an ideal situa- 
tion for the growing of these crops. 
We offer on the following pages a list of worthwhile flowers of 
the sorts that are grown from Seed. You will enjoy a flower garden.
