THE FLOWER BROADCAST 
For great color spreads in field or border, on hillsides 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. Species in this blend 
are not wild-flowers in usual sense, but any kinds of gay color 
that will establish readily, and then self-sow. 14 oz. 40c; % oz. 
10c; 1 oz. $1.25; % Ib. $4.30; 1 lb. $16.00.
