Crow Your Own Hardy 
Flowers from Seed 
It’s Lots More Fun—and Much Less Expensive 
Everybody wants Perennials—and wants them in generous measure, to 
secure the desired effects in color and charm. If you delp.y and finally 
buy plants, the cost mounts high; an attractive Perennial border may 
require several hundred dollars’ worth of plants. 
Exactly the same results can be secured with $10 to $15 worth of 
Seeds! And aside from the money-saving you have the fascination of 
growing your own plants, nursing them from the beginning, and loving them 
all the more! Sow your seeds now, and the plants will bloom next year.
