“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS 
CHAS. C. HART SEED CO. -50- WETHERSFIELD, CONN. 
PERENNIALS FOR BEDS OR BORDERS 
BIENNIALS require two seasons to reach their full maturity 
after which they die (many of them self sow, however). They 
are best sown during the summer and wintered in boxes and 
will then blossom earlier and stronger the following season. 
PERENNIALS live and increase for a number of years 
the stems dying down and springing up again from the roots. 
They are easily raised from seed sown in the spring and early 
summer, transferred to beds in the fall and then set out in 
their permanent beds the following spring. 
AN OLD FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN 
Contrary to the belief of many, Perennial flower plants are not at all difficult to grow. The seed may 
be sown indoors in boxes during February, March or April and the young plants set out in their permanent 
place when 3 to 4 inches tall. Many people, however, prefer to wait and sow the seed in the open ground, 
during the spring and summer. In that case they should not be transplanted until the following spring. 
By all means start a few plants each year. Before many seasons have elapsed you will have a choice hardy 
garden you may well be proud of.
