FLOWER SEEDS OF SUPERIOR QUALITY 
The need for increased vegetable seed production has restricted the supply of many kinds of flower seeds. With the 
exception of a very few extremely scarce kinds we expect to be able to fill orders with seed of our usual high quality.

ANNUALS 
Flowers That Bloom the First Year From Seed 
The best of success with many annuals may be had by sowing them in beds where they are to flower. The hardier 
varieties such as Calendula, Larkspur, Centaurea and Poppy may be sown very early, while the more tender, as Bal- 
sam, Nasturtium, Marigold and Zinnia, are best planted later when the ground has become warm. Prepare the soil 
carefully, making it soft and fine, and sow the seed broadcast or in rows. When large enough, thin the seedlings so that 
they stand about half as far apart as their maximum height. If a hotbed or coldframe is available many kinds may be 
started earlier and transplanted, hastening the blooming period. Perennials listed on page 38.
