FLOWER SEEDS 
(A) ANNUALS are those flowers that bloom and ripen their seed the first year, then die. Among these wil 
be found Asters, Balsam, Mignonette, Sweet Peas, Nasturtiums, Morning Glories, and many other very brilliant 
and fragrant flowers. In fact, if you want flowers early in the season, and all the time until frost, a good selection 
of Annuals will not disappoint you. 
(P) PERENNIALS are those flowers that endure our Winters with little or no protection, and‘live and bloom 
several years in succession. A large majority of the Perennials will bloom the first year if started early in the Spring. 
Hollyhocks, Larkspurs, Foxglove, Poppies, etc., are in this popular class.
