Perennial Flower Seeds 



Plants that live and increase for a number of years are known 

 as Perennials. While most Perennials require a season's growth 

 before coming into bloom, others, again, will produce flowers the 

 same season when sown. Use the proper culture shown by the 

 different key letters under each variety which refer to the de- 



tailed cultural instructions on page 2. 



Plants which make their growth the first year after sowing and 

 produce their flowers the second year and then die, are Biennials, 

 and are included in this section. They are described as such 

 under their different headings.
