PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 



Perennials are used extensively in old fash- 

 ioned gardens, hardy borders and rock gardens. 

 They are easily grown and when once estab- 

 lished become increasingly beautiful year after 

 year. Care should be taken in selecting varieties 

 according to their color, height and season of 

 bloom. 



The seeds may be sown indoors or in hot beds 

 early in the spring and transplanted to their 

 permanent locations when three or four inches 

 tall. Very satisfactory results can also be ob- 

 tained by sowing the seeds early in August and 

 shading from excessive heat by using lath or 

 burlap screens. It is well to give young plants 

 winter protection the first year. 



The foUowing list includes those varieties 

 which are most popular because of their beauty, 

 usefulness and adaptability to local climatic 

 conditions.
