“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS 
CHAS. C. HART SEED CO. —50— WETHERSFIELD, CONN. 
PERENNIALS FOR BEDS OR BORDERS 
BIENNIALS require two seasons to reach their full ma¬ 
turity after which they die (many of them self sow, how¬ 
ever). 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 fiom seed sown in the 
spring and early summer, tiansferred to beds in the fall 
and then set oui 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 trans¬ 
planted 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.
