For Bedding and Cutting 
On this and the following pages thru page 47 we have grouped, in alphabetical order, all our 
valuable bedding and cut flower annuals except Petunias 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 slogan—“Flower 
Seeds for Florists.”

To better enable you to judge the amount of seed you'll need for 
your planting requirements we have indicated the number of seeds 
per ounce of all important items listed. For example: ACRO- 
CLINIUM—8500 S means 8500 seeds per oz. These figures must 
NOT be accepted as indicating the number of plants to be expected. 
Under favorable germinating conditions most large seeds will 
germinate 60 to 70 percent.
