WILSON S. BROWER COMPANY, Inc., CATALOGUE OF SEEDS 
GENERAL LIST OF FLOWER SEEDS 
The following list contains a most complete assortment of the choicest and most popular 
flowers for either conservatory, greenhouse or garden culture. 
Annuals grow from seed, flower, mature their seed, and die in one year, or, in other 
words, the same season. 
Hardy Annuals are those which can be sown in the open ground. 
Half-Hardy Annuals are those which should be started early in the house, conservatory 
or hotbed, and transplanted to the garden in settled warm weather. 
Biennials grow from seed, sown from June to August, flower, ripen their seed and die the 
next year, though some varieties bloom the same season if sown early in gentle heat. 
Hardy Biennials will winter in the open ground without protection. 
Perennials grow from seed, and continue flowering annually for many years after the 
first season. Some varieties flower the first season if planted early in gentle heat. 
Half-Hardy Biennials require the protection of a cold frame or cool house during winter. 
Hardy Perennials can remain in the open ground during winter without protection. 
Half-Hardy Perennials require the protection of a cold frame or cool house during the 
Winter. 
Tender or Greenhouse Perennials require window or greenhouse culture, free from frost 
during Winter and thrive in the garden during the warm months.
