‘Flower Seeds Gbps rec. for Florists” 
HARDY PERENNIALS | 
Because the slow and uneven germination of most perennials is a 
provision of nature to preserve the species, we recommend sowing 
seeds in spring. Germination will be better than during the heat 
of mid-summer and the larger plants produced will winter over 
more satisfactorily. We feel that every grower should include at 
least a few perennials in his outdoor planting. They get along 
eee! with little care, and many make really profitable cut 
owers.
