SALZER’S FLOWER SEEDS 
ALL FLOWER SEEDS ARE 
POSTPAID 
Flowers are classified as follows: 
Annuals, seeds of which are sown in 
the spring and which will bear fiow- 
ers the same year; Biennials, which 
produce plants only the first year, 
llowers the second year and must then 
lie re-sown; Perennials, which pro¬ 
duce plants the first year and bear 
llowers the second year and each year 
thereafter. A few biennials and per¬ 
ennials will flower the first year and 
hence are treated as annuals. Tender 
Perennials must be protected over 
winter, or brought indoors for winter 
blooming.
