Mailed free at catalogue prices to any address in the United States. In ordering it is unnecessary to write 

 the names— the numbers are suMcient. The minimum charge for seeds by weight i.s 10 cents. Fractions of an ounce

Hardy perennials are easily raised from seeds; they may be sown during 

 the early summer. The simplest method is to sow them in a frame, pro- 

 tecting the seedlings as they appear above ground from the sun. The 

 soil should be kept evenly moist but not saturated. Transplant the 

 seedlings once or twice if necessary to prevent crowding.
