FLOWER SEEDS 
Mainland flower seed growers have only p!anted 25 per cent of their pre-war acreage for the past four 
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 gar- 
dens, ete. Many annuals are excellent for cutting 
—fragrant and colorful. May be planted for a 
succession of bloom all Summer. 
Biennials—Plants which live two years, usually 
blooming only during the second year. 
Perennials—Plants which, when grown from seed, 
usually begin blooming the second year, and con- 
tinue to live and bloom each succeeding 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 Is ands who have 
pledged themselves to keep their stocks of packets clean and fresh. Buy from the dealer nearest you. If
