Make a Hardy Perennial Flower Garden, by Sowing This Summer 



Henderson's Perennial Flower Seeds 



The great charm of Perennials lies in their permanence. Once established they are a constant source of pleasure. iand the most interesting 

 plants in our gardens, presenting a variety of form and color so great as to fit them for almost every purpose in the garden. Some may be made 

 to thrive under most unkind conditions, while others require skillful cultivation. A very large proportion of the Perennial plants that may be 

 grown from seed have great values as cut flowers, because of their substance which enables them to stand up well long after cutting. 



Notwithstanding their individual charm, they are most effective when planted in a mixed border, where by arranging them according to height, 

 color and season of flowering, an attractive display may be had from the earliest days of spring, all through the summer, and even after the first 

 frosts herald the approach of winter. And so, week by week, as sure as the season revolves such a border will present new charms and revive old 

 ones the beauty of it growing with ever-increasing interest. Perennials are generally raised from seed sown from early spring to about August 

 1st, in the latitude of New York. 



Grown in this way they make strong plants which may be planted in a permanent situation early enough In the fall to enable them to winter 

 safely. Our Free Booklet "A Hardy Perennial Flower Garden from Seeds" Sent Free with Every Order of Seeds If Requested.
