PERENNIAL SEEDS 
For Late Autumn And 
Early Winter Sowing 
Many perennial seeds give best results from late fall sowing\ and freezing is re¬ 
quired to induce germination. In other cases, though freezing is not essential, the 
seeds are dormant for some months after sowing, and getting them sown in the 
fall usually means an early spring start, and more growth the following season.

= Methods of Sowing I 
= Most of these seeds may be handled in = 
E either one of two ways, depending on the E 
r grower's preference, and whefher or not a E 
E greenhouse is available. For the grower who E 
E has no greenhouse or does not wish to use E 
E greenhouse space, the seed may be sown E 
E in well prepared soil in the cold frame any E 
E time before the ground freezes. Protect to E 
: prevent washing of the seed, and mulch E 
E lightly to keep the sun out. The seeds will E 
: germinate in early spring and the plants E 
E may be moved as soon as large enough. E 
E However, some time may be saved if you E 
E sow the seeds in the fall in flats, setting E 
E the flats in the frames. Then in January E 
E or early February, bring the flats into a E 
: cool greenhouse to start early growth. By E 
E this method, you can get good sized plants E 
E to set out into the field in May. E

more or less throughout and then again more 
fully in the fall. They like cool moist soil.
