A SELECTED LIST FOR SUMMER SOWING, OF 



HENDERSONS PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS. 



Hardy gardening is becoming more popular in America every year. To meet the increasing demand for seeds of 

 perennial plants we append a list of the leading sorts, which if sown this summer will produce plants that will flower next 

 season. Biennials grow from seed one year, bloom and die the next. Perennials last for several years, blooming annually 

 from seed after the first season. Cultural directions are printed on each packet.
