AUTUMN SEED-SOWING 
Seeds of certain hardy perennials, and of many bulbs, shrubs 
and trees, seem to need a period of exposure to low soil tem- 
peratures in order to put them in shape to germinate. The best 
way to handle such seeds is to sow them in open ground seed- 
beds, or in cold-frame, in late autumn, October or November, 
but in regions with mild winters, or elsewhere whenever the 
ground thaws for a few days, the sowings may continue during 
December, January and February with excellent results. Of 
course seeds of house plants may be sown any time of year, usu- 
ally under glass in a sunny window or greenhouse. We list at 
least 1000 different kinds of seeds that may be sown to advan- 
tage during the autumn months, either out of doors or under 
glass. See our GENERAL CATALOG No. 49 for descriptions 
and offerings of them. Old customers will already have Catalog 
49, and it will be sent upon request to others who may be 
interested.
