Sow HOLMES’ Flower Seeds 
for the GARDEN BEAUTIFUL 
In creating your garden picture, like the painter in 
oils, you must use superior quality materials to obtain 
the most pleasing effect. No amount of labor or fertilizer 
will counteract inferior seed. Sow Holmes’ Flower Seeds 
and have a GARDEN BEAUTIFUL. 
ANNUAL. Annual flowers complete their life circle 
within one growing season. They must 
be sown every year. 
BIENNIAL. These require two years to bloom. Seed 
sown during one season will produce 
flowering plants the second year. Occa- 
sionally they live longer than two years. 
PERENNIAL. Hardy. These last for several years, 
withstanding considerable frost, pro- 
vided the soil is well drained. 
Half-Hardy. These cannot stand much 
frost, but may be kept alive by bringing 
indoors, placing in the cold frame, or 
covering securely during the winter. 
Tender. These perennials may be kept 
growing throughout the year in the 
house or greenhouse. Many of them are 
showy bedding plants for a summer and 
fall display.
