FLOWER SEEDS 
The Same Denendatle Seeds of Aunuals and 
Perennials that We Sell to the Blorist 
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 gardener wants. Our 
seed is the best that can be grown, carefully tested for quality, and with ordinary 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. 
generally bloom the next year after sowing the seed.
