Seeds for Wild Gardens 
A Surprise Collection, Containing Prac- 
tically Every Annual in Existence 



Large borders, along carriage drives 
and woodland walks, shrubbery borders, 
and the like, may be pleasingly bright- 
ened as a result of freely sowing mixed 
flower seeds. The expense involved is 
nominal in comparison with the wealth 
of bloom obtained. And at blooming time, 
some of the cheery flowers may be cut and 
transferred indoors, without noticeably 
lessening the charm of the outdoor plant- 
ings. Be careful not to sow the seeds too 
close together, as suitable space for plant 
development will contribute to the effec- 
tiveness of your planting. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
30c; 4b. $1.00; Ib. $3.00.
