Max Schling’s Famous 
Annual 
Wild Garden Mixture 
It is our wish that we would have suffi- 
cient space to list all of the testimonials 
that we have received in praise of this 
marvelous seed value. We have received 
reports from all sections of the country 
extolling the beauty and practical re- 
sults obtained from sowing this mixture. 
Carefully blended to strike a perfect bal- 
ance between the showy bright annuals 
and those of more subdued tendencies, 
the result provides a bold effect where 
required and a vista of real beauty cover- 
ing large areas where it would be impos- 
sible to intensely cultivate a garden. Left 
to themselves, the vigorous hardy an- 
nuals in this mixture self-sow and it can 
be safely said that a wild garden produc- 
ed from this seed will be more or less 
permanent. Oz., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; Jb., 
$5.00.
