Henderson^s Perennial Flower Seeds 



The great charm of Perennials lies in their permanence. Once established they are a constaiit source of 

 pleasure, and 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 condi- 

 tions, 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, becaxise 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 *rom 

 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 .\ugust 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. In some instances plants will flower the first year from seed if 

 sown quite early, but nearly all require a year to reach their full development
