BIENNIALS grow from seed one year, bloom and 

 die the next. 



PERENNIALS last for several years, blooming annually from seed after the 

 first season. 



*JIaARDY gardening is becoming more popular in America every year. To meet this increasing 

 demand for seeds of perennial plants we append a list of the leading sorts, most of which if sown 

 this summer will produce plants that will flower next season. Cultural directions are printed on the 

 packets of seed.
