FLOWER SEEDS 
Loads of Beautiful Flowers 
The flowers outside a home largely re- 
veal the character within. 
From just a few packets of seeds you 
will be able to cut flowers all summer. 
Flowers germinate quickly. All are 
tested and sent to you in big full- 
measure packets with instructions for 
planting on the back of each. 
We also are offering plants of many of 
our finer varieties. All are grown from 
the finest selected seed stocks, trans- 
planted and ‘‘topped,’’ which means 
healthy, vigorous tops, as well as sturdy 
roots. Send your order for plants right 
along with your seed order and we will 
mail the plants at the proper planting 
time.
