ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS 
These complete the cycle of their existence, growing from seed to 
seed in one year. Many sorts require to be sown in some sheltered 
situation such as a greenhouse, cold frame, or window box about a 
month before they may be planted outdoors. This is necessary not 
only on account of. their tenderness, but also because they need 
more time for development, and by sowing thus early the growing 
season is proportionately prolonged. Others may be sown where 
they are to stand, in which case they require careful attention for 
the first few weeks. 
While there is no class of plants that will survive better under 
rigorous conditions, yet in order to achieve the best results they 
should be planted where they can obtain ample sunlight, may be 
easily watered, and, in case of early frost, may be quickly 
protected. 
A continuity of bloom may be secured by occasional sowings of 
many sorts. In the latitude of New York these sowings may be 
made as late as June 15th. 
Biennial Flower Seeds—These grow from seed the first year, then 
flower and die the following year. Some are grown as annuals.

PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
The great charm of Perennials lies in their permanence. Once — 
established, they are a constant source of pleasure, and among the © 
most interesting plants in our gardens, presenting a variety of size, 
form and color so great as to fit them for almost every conceivable — 
purpose in the garden. Some may be made to thrive under most 
unkind conditions, while others require skilful cultivation. — 
A very large proportion of the Perennial plants that may be 
grown from seed have great value as cut flowers, particularly so 
because of their great substance, which enables them to stand 
up well long after cutting. a ae 
Notwithstanding their individual charm, they are most effective © 
when planted in a mixed border, where by arranging them accord- 
ing to height, color and season of flowering, an attractive display 
may be had from the earliest days of spring all through the sum- 
mer, and even after the first frosts herald the approach of winter. — 
Perennials are generally raised from seed sown from early 
spring to about August Ist, in the latitude of New York. 
Treated thus, they ‘make strong plants which may be planted in 
a permanent situation early enough in the fall to winter safely.
