~’ DaRK’s PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
for Permanence and Charm 
These are valuable subjects of the flower garden, as most of them are not only showy and 
beautiful when in bloom, but will do service year after year for a long period, enduring cold, ex- 
cessive rain and drought, regardless of neglect and improper attention. 
They are easily grown from 
seeds. Thorough preparation of bed and good care, will award you with lasting beauty. 
Directions for making, outdoor beds and sowing seeds are sent with every order. 
Hp. HARDY PERENNIALS are hardy plants which will live and bloom every year for a long 
period. Plants grow to the. flowering stage each year and die down again to the roots which re- 
main alive but dormant until the next season. 
flowers, and once established require less care than the annuals:- 
Hb—HARDY BIENNIALS are those which bloom the second yéar from seed, then die. For a con- 
tinuous display of this type, seed must be sown every year.

KEYS AND NOTES 
The varieties listed in Part IV are all hardy 
or biennials, and may be sown in 
spring or midsummer. We recommend sowing 
perennial seeds in the Spring. Seeds germinate 
better in the cool weather than in the ‘heat of 
mid-summer, and the longer growing * period 
produces. larger,» plants which winter over . more 
successfully. :

year from seed.
