For Summer and Autumn Sowing 
Most hardy perennials are easy to raise from seed sown during the summer or autumn 
either in a frame or in a well prepared seed bed located in a sheltered spot of the garden. 
Keep the soil moist and shaded until the seedlings appear and transplant to another frame 
or bed when large enough to handle. Most of them will be large enough for setting into 
their permanent locations either in late fall or early the following spring. 
To help our customers in selecting varieties for the rock garden we have used the symbol 
A\ to identify them at a glance. These varieties also are splendid for dwarf beds, borders, 
or for edgings. Plants suited for the semi-shade are marked © and those that will grow in 
deeper shade @. Practically all of these also do well in a sunny position. 
To assist our patrons in securing the maximum results from seeds we issue a leaflet, ‘‘Grow- 
ing of Flowers from Seed,’’ which we will gladly enclose with any order on request.
