 HENDERSON'S PERENNIAL FlOWER SeEDS 



Hardy gardening is becoming more popular in America every year. To meet the increasing demand for seeds of perennial plants we append a list of 

 the leading sorts, which if sown this summer will produce plants that will flower next season. Biennials grow from seed one year, bloom and die the next 

 Perennials last for several years, blooming annually from seed after the first season. For illustrations and complete descriptions see our Catalogue.
