TAIT’S FLOWER SEEDS 
Your home and grounds can be made beautiful by using Tait’s Flower Seeds. They are given that same care and 
attention which have made our Vegetable Seeds famous. They are all from the very best sources of supply, are tested 
and treated, and are of the highest possible merit. 
Most flower seeds are exceedingly small, and should be sown in light sandy soil that has not been fertilized and covered to a 
depth equal to three times their own diameter. (Fertilizer should not be used until the plants have become well rooted.) Extremely 
small seeds should be sown on top of the soil, and just barely pressed in. A piece of thin burlap placed over the seed bed will be 
found a great protection and an aid to germinating the seed, but it must be removed just as soon as the seeds have germinated. 
Extreme care should be used in watering, which should be done with a very fine spray. 
More interest is being taken each year in old-fashioned Perennials and Biennials, and they are so easily grown that they should 
be in every garden. Our list includes those that are best adapted to our southern climate.
