AUTUMN SEED-SOWING 
Seeds of certain hardy perennials, and of many bulbs, shrubs 
and trees, seem to need a period of exposure to low soil tem- 
peratures in order to put them in shape to germinate. The best 
way to handle such seeds is to sow them in open ground seed- 
beds, cr in cold-frame, in late autumn, October or November, but 
in regions with mild winters, or elsewhere whenever the ground 
thaws for a few days, the sowings may continue during Decem- 
ber, January and February with excellent results. Of course 
seeds cf house plants may be sown any time of year, usually 
under glass in a sunny window or greenhouse. We list at least 
1000 different kinds of seeds that may be sown to advantage 
during the autumn months, either out of doors or under glass. 
See our GENERAL CATALOG. No. 58 for descriptions and 
offerings of them.
