Maris (Pecennial (Flower deed 
Many perennials are difficult to grow from seed. Some re- 
quire special soil, moisture and temperature conditions. Many 
do not come true from seed. Since much of the seed we offer is 
grown on our own farm, we have an opportunity to save seed 
from only the finest specimens, and to offer only that which 
germinates well. 
The following list contains only those which are easy to 
grow if they are given a fairly decent soil and are not allowed 
to dry out while they are germinating. For best results seed 
should be sown in late June or early July and the seedlings 
transplanted in Sept.

Our delphiniums are grown on our own farms, out in the 
open field under ordinary farm culture, so insuring you of

pend on getting only fresh, new-crop seed.
