Tait’s Perennial and Biennial Flower Seeds 
More interest is being taken each year in old-fashioned 
Perennials and Biennials, and they are so easily grown 
from seed that they should be in every garden. Our list 
includes those that are best adapted to our southern 
climate. 
Perennials 
These bloom from seed the second year, and come up in 
increasing numbers year after year. The stems die down 
each season after blooming, and come up each spring from 
the roots. In the latitude of Norfolk, time can be saved 
by sowing the seed in the early fall out of doors, setting 
the plants out when large enough. When this method is 
followed, they will bloom the following spring ahead of 
many Annuals. 
Many Perennials, if sown in hot beds in January, or 
out of doors early in April, will bloom the same year. 
Biennial 
The life of Biennials is two years. They grow from seed 
the first year, rest over the winter, bloom and bear seed 
the second season, and then die.
