BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS 
r T 1 HESE are valuable subjects of the flower garden, as most of them are not only showy 
and beautiful when in bloom, but will do service year after year for a long period, enduring cold, ex¬ 
cessive rain and drouth, regardless of neglect and improper attention. They are easily grown from seeds, 
except a few which are tardy and will lie dormant in the ground for several months, or a year or two, before 
germinating. . All are readily transplanted, and will generally thrive in the soil and exposure of an ordinary 
garden. When you make out your order, do not forget to select a few perennials. Once started, they will 
afford you as much satisfaction and pleasure as anything that you can grow. Directions for making out¬ 
door beds and sowing seeds are sent with each package.
