ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS 



These complete the cycle of their existence, growing from seed to 

 seed in one year. Many sorts require to be sown in some sheltered 

 situation such as a greenhouse, cold frame, or window box about a 

 month before they may be planted outdoors. This is necessary not 

 only on account of their tenderness, but also because they need 

 more time for development, and by sowing thus early the growing 

 season is proportionately prolonged. Others may be sown where 

 they are to stand, in which case they require careful attention for 

 the first few weeks. 



While there is no class of plants that will survive better under 

 rigorous conditions, yet in order to achieve the best results they 

 should be planted where they can obtain ample sunlight, may be 

 easily watered, and, in case of early frost, may be quickly 

 protected. 



A continuity of bloom may be secured by occasional sowings of 

 many sorts. In the latitude of New York these sowings may be 

 made as late as June 15th. 



Biennial Flower Seeds — These grow from seed the first year, then 

 'lower and die the following yeaT. Some are grown as annuals. 



PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 



The great charm of Perennials lies in their permanence. Once 

 established, they are a constant source of pleasure, and among the 

 most interesting plants in our gardens, presenting a variety of size, 

 form and color so great as to fit them for almost every conceivable 

 purpose in the garden. Some may oe made to thrive under most 

 unkind conditions, while others require skilful cultivation. 



A very large proportion of the Perennial plants that may be I 

 grown from seed have great value as cut flowers, particularly so I 

 because of their great substance, which enables them to stand | 

 up well long after cutting. 



Notwithstanding their individual charm, they are most effective ] 

 when planted in a mixed border, where by arranging them accord- , 

 ing to height, color and season of flowering, an attractive display j 

 may be had from the earliest days of spring all through the sum- 

 mer, and even after the first frosts herald the approach of winter. 



Perennials are generally raised from seed sown from early 

 spring to about August 1st, in the latitude of New York. 



Treated thus, they make strong plants which may be planted in j 

 a permanent situation early enough in the fall to winter safely. 



Cultural instructions are printed on the back of all packets.
