Milady's House Plants 



Preparing for Spring 



In July, after the frame has been emptied of the 

 various plants mentioned, it may be used for the 

 sowing of hardy, herbaceous perennial seeds, such as 

 Larkspur, Hollyhocks, Phlox, etc., and the young 

 plants of these may be "pricked off" and kept all 

 Winter in the same place, whence they can be re- 

 moved in the following Spring to the open garden in 

 time to commence the rounds again.
