PERENNIAL SEEDS 
For the Nurseryman, Landscape Gardener, an d Florist 
Perennials have such widespread uses that practically every grower 
who sells plants or cut-flowers to home-owners, and who has adequate 
space, should grow at least the leading perennial varieties. 
For landscaping, Perennials are indispensable, and no florist can 
overlook the cut-flower possibilities of the finest Delphiniums and 
Shasta Daisies, for instance. A well-chosen planting of Perennials can 
undoubtedly increase your sales, both of plants and of cut-flowers. 
Most Perennial Seeds may be sown in the greenhouse in the winter 
or spring months, or in the spring or summer in frames. We shall be glad 
to supply specific directions for any varieties about which you are 
doubtful. Our “Perennial Date List,” described on page 23, will be 
gladly sent on request. 
We have marked (R) after the variety name of the best varieties 
for rock-gardens.
