BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS 
These are valuable subjects of the flower garden, as most of them are not only showy 
and beautiful when in bloom, but will do service year after year for a long period, 
enduring cold, excessive rain and drouth, regardless of neglect and improper attention. 
They are easily grown from seeds, except a few which are tardy and will lie dormant in 
the ground for several months, or a year or two, before germinating. All are readily 
transplanted, and will generally thrive in the soil and exposure of an ordinary garden. 
When you make out your order, do not forget to select a few perennials. Once started, 
they will afford you as much satisfaction and pleasure as anything that you can grow. 
Directions for making outdoor beds and sowing seeds are sent with each package.
