BIENNIALS AND 
PERENNIALS 
Biennials bloom at their best, for one season only, from seed sown the previous year. 
Perennials bloom for several years, ordinarily attaining satisfactory flowering size the second year. Most perennials 
are best sown in June so that the seedlings will be rea 
dy for transplanting after the heat of the summer is over. 
A bed or coldframe where some protection from the sun can be given is best. Some kinds flower the first season 
and will be found listed as annuals.
