Explanation of Abbreviations Used in the Descriptions 
HARDY ANNUALS, HA. These should be sown outside in 
April or May, according to season, latitude, and condition 
of soil, or they may be sown at a somewhat earlier date in 
a hotbed or greenhouse, the combining of the two methods 
being advisable, thereby providing for a succession of 
plantings if both sowings prosper. Seed sown under glass 
will also produce earlier-blooming plants than seed sown 
outdoors. 
HALF-HARDY ANNUALS, HHA, HALF-HARDY BIEN¬ 
NIALS, HHB, and HALF-HARDY PERENNIALS, HHP. 
These may be sown indoors, as above directed, from March 
to May, and outdoors after the middle of May. Many of the 
Biennials and Perennials will bloom the first season if 
sown early. 
HARDY BIENNIALS, IIB, and HARDY PERENNIALS, 
HP, can be sown outdoors as soon as the soil is in good 
tillable condition. If sown early indoors, many of them 
will bloom the first season. Sowings made from July to 
September will produce well-established plants for the 
next season. These should be somewhat protected during 
the winter. Many seeds of Hardy Biennials and Hardy 
Perennials are of very slow germination, and seeds of such 
should not be condemned as bad if a quick germination 
does not show. 
TENDER ANNUALS, TA, TENDER BIENNIALS, TB. and 
TENDER PERENNIALS, TP, can be sown in March in the 
greenhouse or in hotbeds in shallow boxes. Transplant to 
secure sturdy plants, which can then be planted outdoors 
after danger of frost is over, abo.ut May 15. 
HHA, HHB, and HHP designate Half-Hardy Annuals, 
Biennials and Perennials. 
HB and HP designate Hardy Biennials and Perennials. 
TA and TP designate Tender Annuals and Perennials. 
G designates plants generally grown indoors only in 
pots. 
Any species or variety to which no letters are affixed are 
to be considered as Hardy Annuals.
