We recommend sowing perennials in spring. Germ- 
ination 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 admirably with little care, 
and many make really profitable cut flowers.
