Schling’s Famous ANNUAL WILD GARDEN MIXTURE 
It is our wish that we would have sufficient space to list all of the testimonials 
that we have received in praise of this marvelous seed value. We have received 
reports from all sections of the country extolling the beauty and practical results 
obtained from sowing this mixture. Carefully blended to strike a perfect balance 
between the showy bright annuals and those of more subdued tendencies, the result 
provides a bold effect where required and a vista of real beauty covering large 
areas where it would be impossible to intensely cultivate a garden. Left to them- 
selves, the vigorous hardy annuals in this mixture self-sow and it can be safely 
said that a wild garden produced from this seed will be more or less permanent.
