HARDY ANNUALS may be sown from February till the end of September ; March, April and May are the best months for general summer display ; 
June and July for autumn blooming ; August and September for spring flowering. HALF-HARDY ANNUALS—Sow from the beginning of March to the 
end of May ; place in a frame on a gentle bottom heat. When sowing from the middle of April to the end of May they may be easily raised without 
artificial heat, and by selecting a warm, sheltered situation, and covering them with a hand-light till they are are strong enough to bear transplanting. 
BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS—The most select ami tender varieties for summer and autumn blooming may be sown in a gentle heat in March and 
April, and pricked into pots until fully established, and then potted off singly, or transplanted into the open ground, as required. The hardier varieties may 
be sown in the open ground, in prepared beds in June and July, and when strong enough transplanted to where they are intended to bloom the following year. 
HERBACEOUS PLANTS are those Perennials which lose their stems annually, whilst the roots continue alive in the ground.
