Flower Seeds for Fall Sowing 



Many people think that Annual flower seeds can not be sown in the Fall, but as a 

 matter of fact some of our prettiest and best known Annuals may be started at that time 

 and some varieties do much better planted in the Fall than if planted in the Spring. If 

 the seed is planted in August or September or the early part of October the plants grow 

 during the Fall months, and the seed drops from the parent plant and lies dormant in the 

 soil until early in Spring, when it germinates and begins to root long before we can get 

 into the soil and begin to sow the seed. For this reason the flower season is prolonged by 

 the earlier planting. To get the; best results seeds should be sown just previous to frost. 

 Below you will find a list of the varieties which we especially recommend for Fall 

 sowing.
