BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. 
B IENNIALS are plants that come up one year, bloom the next, then die. Perennials are such 
as live from year to year. A dollar spent for these seeds is money well spent. They are 
the poor man’s flowers, and deserve general cultivation. They will take care of themselves 
when once started. Do not fail to start a big bed of these flowers this year.
