FLOWERS 
[: THE following pages are listed all of the most useful 
kinds of flowers, including those for every ordinary 
purpose. The list is conveniently arranged in al- 
phabetical order. 
In connection with the description and illustration 
of the many flowers offered, we include such tried and 
proven suggestions for their culture as our seventy-two 
years of experience warrants. _ We also furnish cultural 
directions on each package of seed and you will find it of 
advantage to study them carefully. 
Plants are usually divided into three classes, Annuals, 
Biennials and Perennials. Annuals are plants which 
normally live but a single season. Biennials are plants 
living two years; particularly those which do not bear 
flowers and fruit until the second season. Perennials tend 
to live from year to year. 
It is well to include some of all three classes in plan- 
ning your flower garden. The use of well chosen perennials 
will form a nucleus around which to group the annuals. 
Most of the biennials and perennials bloom early in the 
season while nearly all of the annuals continue to bloom 
until killing frosts. Combining the classes thus lengthens 
the season.
