“Flower Seeds for Florists” 
POPULAR 


ANNUALS 
For Pots, Bedding and Cutting 


On this and the following pages thru page 30, we have grouped, in alphabetical order, all annuals 
except those listed on previous feature pages. A complete list of perennials will be found starting 
on page 31. Since this catalog is intended for the use of professional growers, we have used great 
care in listing only those varieties that we, as growers ourselves, have found of practical florists’ 
use. ‘*Flower Seeds for Florists” is not an idle phrase with us; our own greenhouse-grown strains 
plus regular inspections of leading seed growers’ plantings have enabled us to maintain our 
reputation for ‘‘all the best’’ even under war conditions. 


NOTE: The asterisk (*) indicates varieties most dependably satisfactory 
in our experience and observation. 
We include with this catalog the number of seeds per ounce of 
important items listed. For example: ACROCLINIUM—8500 S 
means 8500 seeds per oz. These figures must NOT be accepted 
as indicating the number of plants to be expected. Under favor- 
able germinating conditions most large seeds will germinate 50 
to 60 percent.
