In creating your garden picture, like the painter in 
oils, you must use superior quality materials to obtain 
the most pleasing effect. No amount of labor or fertiliz- 
er will counteract inferior seed. Sow Holmes’ Flower 
seeds and have aGARDEN BEAUTIFUL. 
ANNUAL. 
Annual flowers complete their life cir- 
cle within one growing season. They 
must be sown every year. 
PERENNIAL, These last for several years, with- 
standing considerable frost, provided 
the soil is well drained. 
Start Your Plants Indoors. Get the 
jump on spring, and your neighbors, 
too, by starting some of your seeds 
indoors this year. 
Assure proper drainage in the box 
you choose by boring holes every 3 
to 5 inches. Cover these with broken 
crockery. Add coarse and then finely 
sieved soil. Firm. 
Sow seed thinly and cover lightly— 
five times the diameter of the seeds. 
Cover box with glass and place in 
warm but shady location until seed- 
lings appear. Move to sunny window 
and gradually remove glass as seed- 
lings grow. Transplant when several 
inches tall. 
BIRD GREEN PAPER POTS 
For the fall growing period of young plants without damaging or retarding 
of root growth.
