JOHN A. SALZER SEED CO.'S CATALOGUE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS, LA CROSSE, WIS. 34 CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS. From early childhood we have been passionately fond of flowers. The summer days were always spent in our parents' garden. Great beds of Phlox, Pansies, Ver- benas, Portulaca, Stock, Sweet William, Four O'cldcks, Candytuft, Balsam, etc., were our daily delight.' Our boyhood was spent in the garden (our father being a nur- seryman and gardener), our young manhood found us there; indeed, there is no place we feel so completely at home as when surrounded with plants and flowers. We have for long years tested every flower obtainable; and our list is full of choice sorts—and we pride ourselves that no flower seeds offered in America have a higher reputation among gardeners and all lovers of beautiful blossoms than Salzer's choice Northern grown, and we trust that every reader of these lines will let us help make their garden beautiful by sowing our splendid flower seeds.

Nine-tenths of the failures in the flc wer and vegetable garden occur from improper sowing and treatment. We want everybody buying our seeds to have success with them, and we urge upon them to c irefuUy read the culture directions on each package, and the following rules: Soil.—Prepare this carefully; have t smooth, fine, mellow and well enriched. It is well to choose a south, sunny location of the house; make your seed bed even by means of a smooth board. Do not sow on wet, cold soil—have it warm a-nd mellow. Put a little stick at each end of each row, so as to mark it, then pull up all weeds that appear between rows the fii st day they can be seen. When plants are large enough, remove same where you want them remain, and they will reward you with flowers all summer, and vegetables, fine and large, to gladden your heart. COLLECTION OF FLOWER SEEDS- We desire to introduce our flower seeds into every home and garden in America, and hence make three collections, one for 525c., one for 50c., the other for 81.00. These, in quantity, variety and quality cannot be excelled in America. We grow these varieties in great quantities^ hence our ability to sell them so cheap—as an introduction,—for when once you try our flower seeds you will want no other.
