THE FLOWER BROADCAST 
For great color spreads in field or border, on hillside or 
waste-land. A blend of vigorous, easily naturalized kinds, 
both annual and perennial, that may be broadcast right where 
effect is desired. Even with minimum soil preparation, there 
will likely be some fair showing, but the more you can do 
toward fining the soil, whether by plow, harrow, fork or 
hand-rake, the better will be the results. In any case, scratch 
the seed in, then firm with roller, tamp or just by tramping. 
Species in this blend are not wild flowers in usual sense, but 
any kinds of gay color that will establish readily, and then 
spread through own self-sowing. 14 oz. 25c; %4 oz. 40c; 14 oz. 
710c; 1 oz. $1.25; % lb. $4.80; 1 lb. $16.00; 5 Ibs. $75.00.
