parK’s PERENNIAL 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. . 
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. They are very valuable for borders and cut 
flowers, and once established require less care than the annuals. 
Hb—HARDY BIENNIALS are those which bloom the second year from seed, then die. For a con- 
tinuous display of this type, seed must be sown every year. 
Sowing Perennial Seeds 
In the North perennial seeds may be sown advantageously in June and July, or later in coldframe 
or hotbed. See that the seedbeds do not dry out and that the sun does not shine directly upon them. In 
states extending southward, the beds should be prepared in summer and let stand until the latter part 
of August or September when sowing should be done. 
To prepare the seed-bed dig up the soil to a depth of 2 feet, thoroughly incorporate well rotted 
compost and rake over several times. Saturate with water and allow to stand until weed and grass 
seeds spring up and are destroyed before planting. 
When ready to plant, rake over the prepared seed-beds carefully to loosen the soil. Sift a 2” 
layer of mixed loam and well rotted compost over the top. Press the beds firm. Water thoroughly 
and let stand until the following day. Now, press shallow rows with the angled edge of a board 
and sow the seeds evenly and thinly. 
Cover small seeds scantily, if larger cover twice the depth of their thickness with sifted soil. 
After sowing, water carefully and thoroughly with a fine spray. Cover with light boards that will 
shed the rain. Remove these coverings as soon as the seeds begin to sprout. Each day the beds 
must be watered thoroughly. As soon as the seedlings appear turn the boards up and support so 
as to protect the beds from direct rays of the sun. For winter covering, a 6” layer of straw, hay 
or manure is used in order to protect the plants.
