FLOWER SEEDS 
The Same Denendatle Seeds of Aunuals and 
Perennials that We Sell te the BDlorisat 
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. ! 
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. 
In this catalog Perennial and Biennial varieties are designated by CAPITAL letters. 
Annuals are those that you must plant each season. 
generally bloom the next year after sowing the seed. 
Our regular packages of flower seeds are liberally designed to fill the needs of the average sized 
garden. This year again we offer in many varieties of flower seeds a “Large Package” which contains 
considerably more seed than the regular package, and has been planned fer the larger suburban and 
estate gardens.
