Seeds of Hardy Perennial Flowers and 
Rock Garden Plants 
There can be no greater joy than the planting of your own Perennial or Rock Garden, and certainly 
nothing more fascinating than actually growing from seed the plants and varieties desired. Perennials 
are those plants that go on living and increasing for a number of years, the stems dying down each sea¬ 
son and coming again from the roots each spring. Most varieties are easily raised from seed sown during 
the late spring and early summer in frames or seed beds and transplanted to their permanent quarters 
in the late summer or early autumn. If the seed be planted in August, they should be wintered over in the 
cold frame and transplanted to the border or rockery the following spring. 
All varieties marked with a ® throughout the list are especially suitable for the rockery.
