ALL FLOWERS ARE D 



A. — Annual flowers produce blooms the same growing season. The 

 seed is sown in the open ground as soon as the weather permits. If 

 early plants are desired, the seed may be started inside during the 

 late winter. These plants should be transplanted into the garden 

 when all danger of frost is past. Annual plants will not live through 

 the following winter. 



B. — Biennial flowers usuallyt equire two growing seasons to bloom 

 and complete their life. They seldom flower the first season. The 

 seed is usually sown outdoors during June, July, and August. As 

 the plants grow, they should be thinned to prevent crowding, and 

 finally transplanted in the fall or spring to the place where they are 

 to flower. 



H.H.P. — Half-hardy Perennial flowers. 



IVEOED INTO CLASSES 



H.P. — Hardy Perennial flowers, as a rule, do not bloom until the 

 second year, after which they continue to live over a period of years. 

 Some perennials last a lifetime, while others may perish within three, 

 four, or five growing seasons. There are many perennials that will 

 flower the first year from seed, but as they do not usually live through 

 the winter in this locality, they are generally accepted as annuals. 

 Perennial seed, like Biennial seed, is usually sown outdoors during 

 June. July, and August. As the plants grow, they, too, should be 

 thinned to prevent crowding, and finally transplanted in the fall or 

 spring to the place where they are to flower. 



T.P. — Tender Perennials require the same treatment as Hardy 

 Perennials, except they must be protected or put in the greenhouse 

 during the winter.
