FLOWER SEEDS 
More interest is being taken each year in old-fashioned Perennials and Biennials, and 
they are so easily grown from seed that they should be in every garden. Our list includes 
those that are best adapted to our southern climate. 
Poronninic These bloom from seed the second year, and come up in increasing 
rcrcnillUls. numbers year after year. The stems die down each season after bloom¬ 
ing, and come up each spring from the roots. In the latitude of Norfolk, time can be saved 
by sowing the seed in the early fall out-of-doors, setting the plants out when large enough. 
When this method is followed, they will bloom the following spring ahead of many 
Anniuals. Many Perennials if sown in hotbeds in January, or out-of-doors early in April, 
will bloom the same year. 
n; „ • The life of Biennials is two years. They grow from seed the first 
DlcliniulS. year, rest over the winter, bloom and bear seed the second season, 
and then die.
