PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
THERMOPSIS (Pea Family) 
CAROLINIAN A. 3 to 4 ft. June-July. Long- spikes of bright yellow 
flowers. Just the thing for planting among your Delphiniums to 
bring out the blue. This is a poor germinator, about 60%. 1/16 
oz. 40c; per pkt. 15c. 
TROLLIUS (Globe Flower) 
EUROPEAN GLOBE FLOWER. Large, handsome globular flowers 
of a rich golden yellow or orange color. Blooms last of May and 
early June. Growth rather slow, but when once established, a 
three-year-old clump is a magnificent sight. Only fresh, fall- 
sown seed will insure success. Spring sown seed, unless soaked 
in hot water for a few seconds, might lay dormant for a whole 
year. We had splendid success with seed sown last fall in flats; 
looked like a 100% germination; seedlings showed up in February 
and were transplanted in May. Our own seed, per pkt. 25c. 
LEDEBOURI "GOLDEN QUEEN”. A very fine novelty. Award of 
Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, London. We offer again seed 
of this beautiful hardy perennial plant. It is a valuable garden 
plant and continues in bloom from June till October; in fact, we 
cut flowers outside as late as November. 
This variety is very vigorous; it grows quite three feet in 
height, but its chief value lies in the size of the flowers, which 
are four inches across; the rich golden color of the outer petals 
and the intense orange color of the smaller petals near the center 
of the flower intermix and blend beautifully with the yellow 
anthers. The plant is extremely floriferous and continues in 
flower for a long period; in fact, the constancy with which it 
blooms in autumn as well as early summer is very remarkable. 
It comes practically true to type from seed. 
Most Trollius are rather uncertain to raise from seed when 
sown in the spring, but one of the great recommendations this 
introduction has is that the seed germinates freely when sown in 
the spring. We tested this point very fully by three successive 
sowings in March, April and May, when practically every seed 
germinated. Blooms same year if sown early. Seed, pkt. 20c; 
1/16 oz. 90c. 
VIOLAS (Violet Family) 
Treat these same as pansy seed; either sow in late summer, for 
early spring bloom, or sow in early spring for summer blooming.

orange color. Comes about 80% true from seed. A very distinct

CALENDULA, CHRYSANTHA 
ANNUAL SEEDS FOR THE LATE FALL PLANTING 
Few know many of our prettiest and best known annuals may be 
sown in the fall; in fact some varieties, like the annual Larkspur, 
are much better treated in this way. The principle is the one 
Nature uses. Seed dropped from parent plant will lie dormant in 
the soil until in the early spring, when it germinates and begins a 
root system long before one can get in the ground to sow seed. Con¬ 
sequently the flowering season is prolonged by the earlier blooming. 
Ground should be prepared and seed sown just previous to the late 
heavy frosts. 
The fall-sown plants, as a rule, are much sturdier and better

Another advantage of fall sowing is that it relieves pressure in 
the springtime. Care should be taken not to sow too early, as the 
seed will germinate and the plants winter kill.
