Woodgro Hardy Perennial Flower Seeds 
There can be no greater joy than to create a garden plan through the agency of one’s own imagination, and then to work out 
that plan by actually growing from seed the special varieties desired. We have laid great stress on the selection and quality of our 
Perennial Flower Seeds, realizing that this particular branch of gardening was rapidly becoming one of country-wide interest. 
For your guidance we briefly touch on the distinction between Biennials and Perennials and suggest methods of culture long 
practiced by those who make the growing of Perennials their profession. 
Perennials. These go on living and increasing for a number of 
years, the stems dying down each season and coming again from the 
roots each spring. They are easily raised from seed sown during late 
spring and early summer in frames or seed-beds. These seedlings 
should be ready to be transferred to their permanent quarters in the 
autumn or the following spring. 
Biennials. These are plants which require two seasons to come 
to full maturity, after which they ripen their seed and die off. Per¬ 
haps the best mode of treatment is to sow in frames in the latter 
part of June, during July, and up to the middle of August, and 
winter them in boxes; plants treated in this way will flower early 
in summer.
