G Seeds in this group are

Sow the seed where the

are well started. 
G Seeds in this group are 
roup easily raised outside 
after the danger of frost 
2 has passed. Hither sow 
them in their permanent 
positions or in a seed bed and 
transplant to the place where 
they are to flower. 
Seeds in this group can 
Group be sown outside very 
early in the season, be- 
3 ing very hardy. When 
the seedlings are big 
enough they should be _ trans- 
planted to their permanent posi- 
tions. 
Sow seeds in flats in 
Group early spring for best re- 
sults. When seedlings are 
4 large enough to handle 
transplant to other flats. 
Harden off gradually and plant 
into beds when the weather is 
settled. 
In this group are most 
Group of the perennial seeds. 
They can either be sown 
5 indoors in flats or out- 
side. 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 falt 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, Canter- 
bury Bells, Wallflowers and 
Beauty of Nice Stocks, sow them 
in summer. When the seedlings 
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 flow- 
ers will give a really good display. 
Try interplanting some of these 
showy biennial flowers with your 
late-flowering Tulips for very 
pleasing effects.
