Perennial Flower Seeds 



For Autumn Sowing 



Early autumn is a favorite time with many gardeners to sow perennial flower seeds. To 

 hasten them along a cold frame or a similar temporary structure should be used. 



But there are a number of others, which give best results if the seed is so\vn late in the fall. 

 They need the action of frost to sprout freely during the coming spring. We have marked 

 this type in our list with a star (*). 



To help our customers in selecting varieties for the rock garden we have used the symbol 

 A to idenfify them at a glance. These varieties also are splendid for dwarf beds, borders, 

 or for edgings. Plants suited for the semi-shade are marked ® and those that will grow in 

 deeper shade %. Practically all of these also do well in a sunny position.
