SEEDS OF HARDY CLIMBERS. 
These plants arc mostly obtained by purchasing roots, 
and this is the better way when they can be procured. 
Some, however, cannot get plants and must be content 
with seeds. Sow very early in spring or autumn in 
drills, in well prepared beds. Keep soil mellow.

SEEDS OF BULBS. 
There are a few Bulbs which do not come to perfection 
very rapidly from seed, and therefore amateurs have 
seldom patience to wait for this slow process, but obtain 
plants or bulbs that will flower the first season they are 
put out. A few, however, derive pleasure in watching 
the development from the tiny seed to the perfect plant. 
For the benefit of such we always keep a stock of these 
seeds, a few of which we will mention.
