ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS 
For your convenience in making selections, we have located the annuals and perennials in separate sections. For 
perennials refer to pages 17, 18 and 19. They have such different uses and growth requirements that a division 
seems logical. 
The varieties of annuals included have been cut somewhat from our usual listing but only with the idea of sim- 
plification. As new varieties improve upon old, we will drop the older ones in favor of the new. Where the older 
varieties are still best, we will try to indicate that to your satisfaction. 
Simple cultural directions will be found on page 24. These will be supplemented by separate pamphlets during 
the year on many other subjects in addition to growing plants from seed. Your name on our mailing list will insure 
your copies of these.
