 lis. Asparagus, Asters, Begonia, Brachycome, Calceolaria, Canna, 

 Cineraria, Cobaea, Coleus, Cyclamen, Dahlia, Hardy Delphinium, 

 Gloxinia, Godetia, Helichrysum, Heliotrope, Hollyhocks, Lantana, 

 Lobelia, Lunaria, Ncmesia, Petunia, Phacelia, Phlox, Salpiglossis,

Sow Perennials in May and June 



May and June are the best months to start the seeds of prac- 

 tically all Hardy Perennial seeds, either in a coldframe or a well- 

 prepared sheltered garden bed. Because many of them are rather 

 slow to germinate, keep the beds uniformly moistened and add a 

 thin layer of Peat Moss beside providing shade until the seedlings 

 appear. . - „ 



What to Sow in Summer and Fall 



Almost all quick-growing annuals can be sown during the summer 

 and early fall to give an autumn display. Looking ahead to the 

 following season, make your main planting of Pansies during the 

 forepart of August, and a good sized sowing of the annual Larkspur 

 between September 15 and October 1. Also sow Siberian Wallflower 

 between September 1 and iSth.
