Miscellaneous Pereuuials 
We recommend sowing perennials in spring. Germination will be better than during the heat of midsummer 
and the larger plants produced will winter over more satisfactorily. In addition, if sowing is done in January 
or early February, quite a few will bloom the first season. 
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.
