Old-fashioned Gardening: 



Hardy Perennial and Old-Fashioned Flowers 



THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM SEED SOWN IN LATE SUMMER AND FALL 



Cnltural Directions. — Perennial seeds sown in the late sammer and fall will flower the following year — spring, snmmer or fall, 



according to the variety. The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes 

 or pans. Soil should be light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added ; after sowing, cover lightly with well-sifted soil. 

 When the plants have become large enough to handle, "prick out" about 2 inches apart, more if you have the room, in shallow boxes 

 or frames, and again, when large enough, set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants 

 should be lightly covered with leaves or short stable manure ; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thrifti- 

 ness and next season's growth.
