Our Blower Seeds 
We have grouped our seeds accord- 
ing to the culture they require. Find 
the group number in the alphabetical 
listing, for example, Ageratum, Grp. 2, 
and your cultural instructions in the 
column below. 
GROUP Seeds in this group are 
difficult to transplant. Sow 
{ the seed where the plants 
are to flower, after the 
danger of frost has passed. Thin out 
to the desired distance when the seed- 
lings are well started. 
GROUP Seeds in this group are 
easily raised outside after 
2 the danger of frost has 
passed. Either sow them in 
their permanent positions or in a seed 
bed and transplant to the place where 
they are to flower. 
GROUP Seeds in this group can be 
sown outside, very early 
3 in the season, being very 
hardy. When the seedlings 
are big enough they should be trans- 
planted to their permanent positions. 
GROUP Sow seeds in flats in early 
fall for early spring flow- 
4 ers, early spring for sum- 
mer flowers. When seed- 
lings are large enough to handle trans- 
plant to other flats. Harden off grad- 
ually and plant into beds when the 
weather is settled. 
GROUP In this group are most of 
the perennial seeds. They 
5 can either be sown in- 
doors in flats or outside. If 
sown outside it is good practice to sow 
them in mid-spring so they will reach a 
fair size before the hot weather starts. 
After the seedlings are big enough to 
handle, transplant to allow room for 
growth. Plant in their permanent places 
in fall or, if the plants are very small, 
winter over in a cold frame and plant 
out the following spring. 
For best results with biennials such 
as Sweet Williams, Canterbury Bells, 
Wallflowers and Beauty of Nice Stocks, 
sow them in summer. When the seed- 
lings are large enough transplant or 
thin them so they will make sturdy 
plants by fall. At that time plant them 
where they are to flower. Handled in 
this way, these flowers will give a 
really good display. 
Try interplanting some of these 
showy biennial flowers with your late- 
flowering Tulips for very pleasing ef- 
fects.
