Beautify Your Home with My Beautiful Flowers 
In planning your floAver garden this year, you will Avant both anniials and per¬ 
ennials. Both are necessary for real garden beauty. The Avealth of annuals offered 
here giA'cs you a Avonderful opportunity for gayety and color from early summer 
until frost. Order plenty of them to plant among the perennials, and to group by 
themselves for cutting. You AA’ill Avant ucav perennials, too. It’s a good plan to 
SOAV perennial seed at the same time as the annuals; the earlier in the season they 
are started, the better the plants will be the folloAving year. 
There are really three distinct classes of flowers from seed, namely: Annual—lives only one 
season, blooms and dies. Biennial—lives two seasons—blooms first or second season, then dies. 
Perennial—Very hardy—blooms second season and tends 
to live from year to year.
