Explanation of Symbols used in Dreer’s Garden Book 
@=Annual. Annual flowers complete their life circle within 
one growing season. Planted in the spring they bloom during 
the spring, summer, or fall and perish with frost. 
(@®)=Biennial. These require two years to bloom. Seed sown 
during one season will produce flowering plants the second 
year. Occasionally they live longer than two years. 
(HHP|= Half-Hardy Perennial. These cannot stand much 
frost but may be kept alive by bringing indoors, placing in the 
cold frame, or covering securely during the winter. 
fHP|=Hardy Perennial. These are hardy plants able to 
withstand considerable frost provided the soil is well drained. 
Some are helped by covering with straw, etc., during the winter. 
(tP]=Tender Perennial. Tender perennials may be kept 
growing throughout the year in the house or greenhouse. 
In frost free sections they may be left out doors. 
A=Suited to Rock Garden. Most plants suited to rock 
gardens are also desirable for dwarf beds and borders. The 
smaller the rock garden the smaller the plants should be. 
@=Suited to Semi-Shade. Most plants suited for semi- 
shade also do well in a sunny exposure. Semi-shade means 
some sun for part of the day or a location where the plants 
receive ample indirect light from above. 
@=Suited to Shade. Few plants do in dense shade but 
those marked in this way will be found quite satisfactory. 
There are no annuals which will bloom in deep shade. 
* Seeds marked with a * often are sown in late fall outdoors to 
germinate the following spring. Spring germination is quickest 
if they are placed in water and set in the freezing chamber of 
an electric refrigerator for a period of 2 to 3 weeks before they 
are sown.
