| The Finest 
FLOWER SEEDS 
Something New 
has been added to our catalog this 
year to help our garden friends to 
even more successful gardening. 
Attached to each group of flow- 
ers, either at the family name or 
at the variety name, you will find 
the letters “‘Grp.’’ and a number, 
which means: Group 1 (or 2, or 3, 
or 4, or 5). 
We have thus classified all flower 
seeds listed, in 5 groups, according 
to their cultural requirements. If 
you wish to know how and when to 
sow a particular variety of flower, 
merely look for its Group Number.
