 must be prepared as soon as the ground can 

 be worked, and the seeds of perennials 

 sown about April 10th. The earth for this 

 bed should be made very light and fine, and 

 from the time the seeds are sown until they 

 are transplanted to their final home the little 

 seedlings must never be allowed to dry out. 

 Of the foregoing, the following will be 

 found easy to raise from seed: Columbines, 

 Hollyhocks, Sweet William, Platycodon 

 Mariesi, Delphiniums, Coreopsis, Hibiscus, 

 Rockets, and Oriental Poppies. Also of 

 the biennials, Foxglove and Campanula 

 (Canterbury Bells). But it is better at first 

 for the amateur to buy the plants of the 

 other varieties.
