Perennial Hower Seeds 
Perennial Flowers are the hardy, permanent ones that live for years. In frost-free sections, seeds may be sown at 
almost any time of the year; in mild climates or in localities where winters are not too severe, seeds may be sown in the 
fall—the earlier the better—so that plants will be of good size before freezing weather sets in. After the ground is frozen 
hard, cover the bed with a light mulch of straw or strawy manure to prevent the plants from being heaved out by alternate 
freezings and thawings. Cultural directions are given on every bag containing the seeds.

from Seed,’’ sent Free upon request. Heights and blooming season are average; they may vary in different localities.
