Burpee's Annual Flower Seeds 
for Fall Sowing 
Many annuals produce earlier and better blooms if seed is sown outdoors in late fall after the first light frosts. Our tests 
prove early November, in the locality of Philadelphia, is the best time. Seed sown then will lay dormant in the soil until 
spring, when it will germinate and begin growing long before you could sow outdoors at that time of the year. We have 
selected the varieties best adapted for fall sowing, which must not be done too early.
