Flower Seeds 
More interest is being taken each year in old-fashioned Perennials and 
Biennials, and they are so easily grown from seed that they should be in 
every garden. Our list includes those that are best adapted to our southern 
climate. 
Perennials These bloom from seed the second year, and come up in in- 
¥- creasing numbers year after year. The stems die down each 
season after blooming, and come up each spring from the roots. In the 
latitude of Norfolk, time can be saved by sowing the seed in the early fall 
out-of-doors, setting the plants out when large enough. When this method 
is followed, they will bloom the following spring ahead of many Annuals. 
Many Perennials if sown in hotbeds in January, or out-of-doors early in 
April, will bloom the same year.
