PERENNIALS FOR FALL SOWING 
ACHILLEA THE PEARL 
Perennials are the hardy permanent flowers that live 
for years and usually improve in beauty for a number 
of seasons. In frost-free sections, seeds may be sown 
almost any time during the year; in mild climates 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 
to prevent the plants from being heaved out by alter¬ 
nate freezings &nd thawings.
