A Hardy Perennial Flower Garden from Seeds Sown the Previous Summ er 



Henderson^s Perennial Flower Seeds for Summer Sowing 



Hardy gardening is becoming more popular every year. To meet this increasing demand for seeds of perennial 

 plants we append a list of the leading sorts, which if sow^n this summer will produce plants that will flower next 

 season. Biennials grow from seed one year, bloom and die the next. Perennials last for a number of years, 

 blooming annually from seed after the first season. Cultural directions are printed on each packet of seed.
