Then again, before preparing the seed for filling the thousands of orders coming in continually after issue of our Catalogue. WE TEST EVERY VARIETY THE SECOND TIME, at our seed laboratory, thus making DOUBLY SURE that our Seeds are what we represent them to be. This is what is meant by Holmes' TESTED Fiower Seeds. GENERAL CULTURAL DIRECTIONS for obtaining best results: The soil best adapted to most flowers is light, rich loam, containing enough sand to make it porous. If there is some clay with it the colors will he brighter. Make the surface as smooth and tine as possible, sow seeds in rows, covering each sort of seed in proportion to its size, a good general rule being to cover twice the diameter of the seed anl press the soil down firmly over it. Do not plant any seeds when the ground is wet. Many varieties, such as pansy, verbena, daisy, hollyhock and the fine gi-eenhons"^ plant seeds, should be sown early in shallow boxes in the house, in soil consisting of equal parts of fine sand and rich, mellow loam, well mi>5;ed together and sifted to remove all gravel and lumps. Cover the boxes containing fine greenhouse plant
