AUTUMN SOWING 
Seeds of certain rockery and border perennials, and 
of many bulbs, shrubs and trees, seem to need a 
period of exposure to low temperatures. The best 
way to handle such seeds, is to sow them in open 
ground seed beds in late autumn, or indeed at any 
time through the winter when the ground may be 
open enough to permit. Sowing in cold frame is, of 
course, even better. The seed bed should be lightly 
mulched with peat moss, buckwheat hulls, straw or 
litter to keep it from drying out, and to prevent 
frost heaving. Autumn or winter sowing is particu¬ 
larly advised with seeds marked with key letter “y.” 
Kinds marked “h” may also be so sown. Usually a 
surprisingly strong spring germination will be ob¬ 
tained from late fall or winter owings of these sup¬ 
posedly more difficult kinds.
