Perennial flnuier Seeds 
Perennial Flowers are the hardy, permanent ones that live for years. In 
frost-free sections, seeds may be sown at almost any time of the year; in mijd 
climates or in localities where winters are not too severe, seeds may be sown in 
the fall—the earlier the better, so that plants will be of good size before freezing 
weather sets in. After the ground is frozen hard, cover the bed with a light 
mulch of straw or strawy manure to prevent the plants from being heaved out 
by alternate freezings and thawings. Cultural directions are given on every 
bag. The Burpee leaflet, “Perennials from Seed," sent Free upon request.
