For Bedding and Cutting 



On this and the following pages thru page 40 we have grouped, in alphabetical order, all our 
valuable bedding and cut flower annuals except specialties on foregoing pages. Your special 
attention is called to pages 39 and 40, where many of the more popular kinds are illustrated in 
full color. Perennials will be found starting on page 41. In selecting these varieties, we keep in 
mind the interest of the professional or commercial grower only, thereby giving meaning to our 
business—‘‘Flower Seeds for Florists.” 



To better enable you to judge the amount of seed you'll need for 
your planting requirements we have indicated the number of seeds 
per ounce of all important items listed. For example: ACRO- 
CLINIUM—8500 S means 8500 seeds per oz. These figures must 
NOT be accepted as indicating the number of plants to be ex- 
pected. Under favorable germinating conditions most large seeds 
will germinate 60 to 70 percent. 
The asterisk (*) indicates varieties most dependably satis- 
factory in our experience and observation.
