ALL FLOWERS ARE DIVIDED INTO CLASSES 



A. — Annual flowers produce blooms the same growing season. The 

 seed is sown in the open ground as soon as the weather permits. If 

 earlj' plants are desired, the seed maj' be started inside during the 

 late winter. These plants should be transplanted into the garden 

 when all danger of frost is past. Annual plants will not live through 

 the following winter. 



B. — Biennial flowers usually require two growing seasons to bloom 

 and complete their life. They seldom flower the first season. The 

 seed is usually sown outdoors during June, July, and August. As 

 the plants grow, they should be thinned to prevent crowding, and 

 finally transplanted in the fall or spring to the place where they are 

 to flower. 



H.H.P. — Half-hardy Perennial flowers. 



H.P. — Hard}' Perennial flowers, as a rule, do not bloom until the 

 second year, after which the}- continue to live over a period of years. 

 Some perennials last a lifetime, while others may perish within three, 

 four, or five growing seasons. There are many perennials that will 

 flower the first year from seed, but as they do not usually live through 

 the winter in this locality, they are generally accepted as annuals. 

 Perennial seed, like Biennial seed, is usuall}- sown outdoors during 

 June. July, and August. As the plants grow, they, too, should be 

 thinned to prevent crowding, and finally transplanted in the fall or 

 spring to the place where they are to flower. 



T.P. — Tender Perennials require the same treatment as Hardy 

 Perennials, except they must be protected or put in the greenhouse 

 during the winter. 



PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 



Flower seed should be sown in good rich soil, and generally at a depth three times the diameter of the seed. If the seed is very small, 

 it is best to mix it with a little sand, in order that the seed can be sown evenly. Do not attempt to cover fine seeds, but press them into the 

 soil with your fingers. Fertilizer should not be applied when the seed is sown, but we recommend that G. & T. Co.'s Garden Fertilizer be 

 applied regularly while the plants are growing.
