SOW CERTAIN SEEDS NOW 
Seeds of many plants require exposure to low soil tempera- 
tures for a considerable period before they will grow. Such 
may be sown in outdoor seed beds, or in cold frames in late 
autumn, germination to take place in spring. Included in this 
group are seeds of most Lilies and Irises, of many Primulas 
and Gentians, of Liatris, Trollius, Eremurus, Dictamnus, Peren- 
nial Phlox, Broom, Clematis, Aconite, Anemone, and many, 
many more. Then of course seeds of house plants can be sown 
under glass at any time of year. See Catalog 49 for offerings 
of near to a thousand kinds of seeds that prefer autumn sowing.
