nuals will stand some frost. Half hardy Annuals will stand very little frost.

tected places, ready to transplant in the open as soo'n as frost is past.

Biennials are plants that flower during the season after planting, then 
seed and die. Biennials will stand some frost. They should be seeded in time 
to be transplanted out during good weather, to get well established before

Perennials are plants that flower the following season after planting and 
continue from year to year. In most cases, propagation may also be made by

planted in late summer or early fall, so as to become well established plants
