FLOWER SEEDS 
The Same Dependatle Seed4 of Aunuals and | 
Perennials that We Sell te the Florist 
Our list of Flower Seeds does not cover every variety, but it does describe the best kinds for 
garden planting. We believe that a carefully selected list like this is what the amateur gar- 
dener wants. Our seed is the best that can be grown, carefully tested for quality, and with ordi- 
nary care will give splendid results. It is of the same high quality we sell the particular florists 
for greenhouse and outside planting. 
Annuals are those that you must plant each season. Perennials are hardy, last for years, and 
generally bloom the next year after sowing the seed. 
In this catalog Perennial and Biennial varieties are designated by CAPITAL letters. 
: Our regular packages of flower seeds are liberally designed to fill the needs of the average 
sized garden. : 
This year again we offer in many varieties of flower seeds a “‘Large Package” which contains 
considerably more seed than the regular package, and has been planned for the larger suburban 
and estate gardens.

bloom from July until frost, belong to the 
aristocrats of the garden. Appearing, as they 
do, in the most pleasing shades, with the lovely 
flowers completely encircling the stout stem 
to fully 12 to 18 inches at the top, they are 
most useful for bedding or as cut flowers. Seed 
sown outdoors in early May will make plants 
that bloom from early in July until frost. For 
earlier flowering, start indoors in March and 
transplant outside when weather is favorable. 
Just barely cover the seed when sowing.
