“LADIES,” Do You Know That— 
From a Packet of the Annual Blooming Flowers Enumerated Below, you can 
Produce 10 Times More, and Many Times Better Plants by Sowing the Seed 
in the open ground when danger of freezing is over Than You Can By Pur- 
chasing The Plants, either at our local store or any seed store or any roadside 
stand in the nation? 
The Following Are The Best Annual Flowers To Sow Seed In Open Ground 
as mentioned Above: 
Asters—Bachelor Button—Cosmos—Daisies—Everlasting Flowers— 
Four O’Clock—Larkspur—Marigolds—Pansies—Petunias—Phlox— 
Poppies—Portulaca—Salvia—Snapdragons—Verbenas and Zinnias. 
There are 2 great advantages in sowing the seed as mentioned above. First, 
the cost is hardly anything for the great number of plants you ean produce. 
Secondly, if any of the plants die after you transplant you ean still go back 
to your little seedling bed and lift up the additional plants needed, and put 
them in the permanent bed where the others died off. 
We recommend taking a little piece of ground. Thoroughly rake and pul- 
verize it down; mark off a certain space for each of the different families; 
sow the seed broadcast, then firm the seed into the ground with the back of 
a small piece of board and cover over with about 14 inch of soil. Water 
frequently and you will be amazed at all the Beautiful Blooming Annual 
Plants you can get for a very small investment in seed.
