HARDY FLOWER SEEDS 



The Possibilities of a Perennial Border. 



For the convenience of those of our customers who are Hardy Garden enthusiasts, we 

 have grouped the Hardy Perennial and Biennial flower seeds on this and the eight fol- 

 lowing pages. Hardy Flower Seeds may be sown out-of-doors in the open ground, in this 

 locality, any time from about May 1st until August 1.5th, and transplanted to their perm- 

 anent location in the late Summer or Fall. After August 1.5th it is advisable to sow in cold 

 frames, and winter the plants in the frames, transplanting to their permanent position 

 in the Spring. During the extremely hot days of July and August the seedlings C whether 

 transplanted or not) should be shaded from the direct rays of the sun. Light frames cov- 

 ered with cheese cloth or lath spaced one half inch apart may be used for shade or even 

 branches with a few leaves on.
