Selected List Of Flower Seeds 
INFORMATION THAT WILL AID 
IN SELECTION OF FLOWERS 
Annuals bloom and ripen the first year and then they 
perish. Many annuals in warm climates, or when 
taken in, or protected during Winter, become 
perennial, with short lives. 
Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can be sown 
in open ground early in the Spring if desired, and 
Hardy Biennials and Perennials do not require any 
protection in Winter. 
Biennials do not generally flower the first year, and 
are in their perfection the second year. 
Half-Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials should 
not be sown in open ground until settled warm 
weather, though they can be sown in the house, 
if desired early, and afterwards transplanted. The 
two latter need to be protected in Winter, or car- 
ried over until Spring in cold frames or green- 
houses. 
The following abbreviations are used to indicate 
the classifications: H. II. A. — Half-Hardy Annuals; T. 
A. — Tender Annuals; H. A. — Hardy Annuals; H. P. — 
Hardy Perennials; II. H. I*. Half Hardy Perennials; 
H. B. — Hardy Biennials. Culture — Cultural directions 
are printed on the hack of nearly all packets.. If furth- 
er information is wanted, write us.
