SELECTED FLOWER SEEDS 



GENEBAIi SIBZICTION'S FOB CUI^TIVATION 



Hardy Flower Seeds shoald be sown in the open, after danger of frost is past, in well-worked and moist soil. Seeds 

 of medium size, put at depth of one-quarter to one-half inch. Very fine seeds press into the soil, and cover slig-htly with 

 a little sand or sphagnum moss. If seed is not deep, water frequently. When up, transplant from two to twelve inches 

 apart, according to variety of plants. Do not leave too thick as the plants will he weak and spindling. Keep weeds out 

 of the flower beds. Annuals may be planted in early spring, and bloom the first season only. Biennials bloom the second 

 year from seed, and then die. Perennials bloom the second year from seed, and plants live to bloom during sucessive years.
