For Bedding and Cutting 
On this and the following pages through page 58 we have grouped, in alphabetical order, all our valuable 
bedding and cut flower annuals except Petunias on foregoing pages. 
Perennials will be found starting 
page 59. In selecting these varieties, we keep constantly in mind the interest of the professional or com- 
mercial grower, the fellow whose very living depends on top-most quality. 
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. 
The dot (@) indicates varieties most dependably satisfactory 
in our experience and observation.
