Perennial Flower Seeds 



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

 as Perennials and are ever increasing in popularity as they are 

 adaptable to so many different uses and locations. They are not 

 as quick growers as Annuals and germinate more slowly. Some, 

 such as Gaillardia, Hardy Larkspur, Iceland Poppy, Platycodon, 

 etc., will bloom the first season from seed sown in early spring, 

 while with others, such as Aquilegia, Campanula, Hollyhock, 

 Physostegia, etc., a season's growth is required before coming 

 into bloom. 



The seeds may be sown in early spring or in July or August.. 

 Use the proper culture shown by the different key letters A, B, ; 

 C, D, E, F, G, or H under each variety on the following 

 pages which refer to the detailed cultural instructions on 

 page 4. 



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.
