The following list contains a most complete assortment of the choicest and most popular flowers for 
either conservatory, greenhouse or garden culture. 
Annuals grown from seed, flower, mature their 
seed, and die in one year, or, in other words, the 
same season. 
Hardy Annuals are those which can be sown in 
the open ground. 
Half-Hardy Annuals are those which should be 
started early in the house, conservatory or hotbed, 
and transplanted to the garden in settled warm 
weather. 
Biennials grow from seed, sown from June to Au¬ 
gust, ripen their seed and die the next year, 
though some varieties bloom the same season if 
sown early in gentle heat. 
Hardy Biennials will Winter in the open ground 
without protection. 
Half-Hardy Biennials require the protection of a 
coldframe or cool house during Winter. 
Perennials grow from seed and continue flowering 
annually for many years after the first season. 
Some varieties flower the first season if planted 
early in gentle heat. 
Hardy Perennials can remain in the open ground 
during Winter without protection. 
Half-Hardy Perennials require the protection 
of a coldframe or cool house during the 
Winter.
