On this and the following pages thru page 45 we have grouped, in alphabetical order, all our 
valuable bedding and cut flower annuals except specialties on foregoing pages. Perennials will 
be found starting on page 51. 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.”

your planting requirements we have indicated the number of seeds 
per ounce of all important items listed. For example: ACRO-

pected. Under favorable germinating conditions most large seeds
