Amhual Flower Seeps 
PLEASE NOTE. 
The meaning of the 
Initial preceding each va¬ 
riety is as follows: 
A. indicates an Annual; 
these grow, bloom and die 
the first year. B. indicates 
a Biennial; these grow the 
first year and bloom and 
die the next. Usually self 
seed. P. indicates a Per¬ 
ennial; these grow the 
first year, bloom the sec¬ 
ond and from year to year 
thereafter. H. indicates a 
Hardy Plant. H. H. indi¬ 
cates a Half-Hardy Plant. 
T. indicates a Tender 
Plant. Thus H. H. A. 
would mean Half-Hardy 
Annual, and T. P. a Ten¬ 
der Perennial.
