A Hardy Perennial Flower Garden from Seeds Sown the Previous Summer 



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 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 a number of years, 

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