POPULAR ANNUALS 
For Bedding and Cutting 
Under this heading we have grouped all our valuable bedding and cut flower an- 
nuals except specialties on foregoing pages. In selecting these miscellaneous items, 
we keep in mind the interest of the professional or commercial grower only, thereby 
giving meaning to our business—“Flower Seeds for Florists”. Varieties of special 
value or that fit into most conditions and demands are indicated with an asterisk*. 
We include with this catalog the number of seeds per ounce of 
important items listed. For example: ACROCLINIUM—8500 5S 
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. :
