Perennial Flower Seeds 
Perennials are the chief stand-by of the old-fashioned gar¬ 
dens. They require little attention and respond generously 
to increased care and thorough cultivation. After once being 
established they will not only last many years but also in¬ 
crease in beauty with every season. The seed of perennials 
may be sown outdoors almost any time of the year. 
Summer and fall sowings should be made in specially 
prepared beds, preferably boxed in with 8- or 10-inch boards 
and covered with a screen of lath or wide-meshed burlap. 
During the winter a covering of leaves or strawy manure, 
after the frost has touched the foliage, is all the protection 
needed to carry the plants safely through the winter.
