. Griswold's catalogue of vegetable, flower and field seeds, 1902. Nursery stock Nebraska Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. GRISWOLD SEED CO., . . A DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF Choice ^ Flower ^ Seeds Genekal Culture.—A rather light and moderately rich soil, thoroughly spaded, is most desir- able. Sow the seed evenly in the rows, cover with the finest of soil, about three times the diameter of the seed, and press the soil firmly over the seed. The soil should never become dry after the seeds have swelled, for if it does, they will be pretty sure to fail. Do not grow the plants too thick. Keep the weeds down and the surface of the soil well stirred with a hoe or rake during the summer, especially if the weather is dry. A great many varieties can be sown in the house, if desired, early, and afterwards transplanted. Most plants will continue to bloom much longer if the flowers are picked as soon as they fade, and not allowed to form seed. ' We use the following abbreviations to classify varieties : A. To designate Annuals. Bloom and die the first year from seed. For early bloom, sow in boxes in the fall, and set out in early spring. B. To designate Biennials. Bloom the second year from seed and then die, though many, if sown early, will flower the first season. P. To designate Perennials. Bloom the second year from seed, and continue for many years. Some bloom the first year, if sown early. As to hardiness : h Hardy; hh Half Hardy; t Abutilon. (Flowering Maple). Free-growing •decorative shrubs, with bright bell-shaped flow- ers. Suitable either for house or garoen. Choice mixed. tP. Pkt. 5c. Acroclinium. Graceful plants, with ever- lasting flowers. The flower heads should be gath- ered when young, if to be preserved. Rose colored and pure white, mixed. hA. Pkt. 5c. AcUumia. (Mountain Fringe or Allegheny Vine). A pretty and graceful climber with finely cut. pale green leaves. Produces abundance of flesh color flowers in summer. Does best
