HOW TO GROW 
PERENNIALS 
FROM SUMMER SOWING OF SEED 
Nearly all of this class of plants may be as 
successfully propagated by late summer sow- 
ing (July or August) as by spring sowing and 
in many cases more satisfactory results ob- 
tained. Very few realize how easily this may 
be done. 
For this purpose select a somewhat pro- 
tected spot in the garden. Improve the soil 
as much as possible. A cold frame, even 
though small is a great advantage, and can 
very easily be provided. All that is necessary 
is a frame constructed of boards to the height 
of 10 to 12 inches, of whatever size desired. 
Over this, in case of bad weather or hot sun, 
muslin may be stretched or slatted frames 
made from lath may be used. Within this 
frame the soil should be raised two or three 
inches above the outside level to insure good 
drainage, and worked into a well prepared 
seed bed. 
It is well, if the soil is rather heavy to add 
whatever quantity of sand and fine humus, 
such as Peat Moss, as it may require to pro- 
duce a mellow, friable soil that will remain 
fine and loose. Peat Moss is especially bene- 
ficial to young seedlings. 
In this well prepared seed bed, sow the seed 
preferably in rows three or four inches apart. 
One thing that will be the most helpful to 
success is the proper depth of planting. This 
must -be,regulated by the size.and nature of 
the seed. Very fine seed should barely be 
coveted with satid;' in fact,simply, pressing 
the seed intg;the soik with the palm of the 
hand and keeping’ it covered with burlap or 
newspaper until it shows growth is sufficient. 
Larger seeds should be covered two or three 
times their diameter. Watering should be 
done very catefully with as fine a spray as 
possible. Kéep the soil uniformly moist but 
not wet, and do not allow it to become dry at 
any time. After sowing, the seed bed should be 
shaded during the day until the seedlings are 
well started when they may be gradually 
accustomed to the sunlight. It is well to pro- 
tect the seed bed during the night or any 
absence from home, as rains do much damage 
to newly sown seed beds or to small seedlings. 
As soon as the seedlings become large 
enough to handle, or when showing their third 
and fourth leaves, they should be transplanted 
toa place where they may have plenty of 
space to develop (4s or 5 inches apart is 
usually sufficient ) and in this bed they may 
be carried over their first winter, which is 
always their hardest. A’ covering of loose 

‘ straw or leafy branches‘is excellent protection 
but: avoid leaves aléne or anything of like 
nature that.will pack down and keep the air 
from'‘the,plants. Remove this covering in the 
spring gradually, just as soon as the weather 
“has becOme-nild and danger of severe freezing 
is past. Your plants will soon begin to show 
active growth and then they may be removed 
to their permanent places in the hardy border, 
in the rock garden, or wherever you may have 
prepared a place for them.
