SOMERSET’S 
Pereuntial flower Seeds 
There has been a brisk demand for the better perennials during the past few years, and the supply has been inadequate. 
The cut flower value of some items is considerable, and it is often available at a time when other cut flowers are in 
short supply. 
Seed is a cheap and quick way to obtain a stock of many items. Some items are tricky to germinate satisfactorily, but 
most can be easily raised when sown in early spring, either in the greenhouse or cold frames. Light freezes will not 
harm most items, and best results are obtained while the weather is cool. 
Midsummer sowing is recommended by some authorities, and the seed of many items can be germinated successfully at 
that time. Greater care, however, is necessary, as weather conditions are less favorable, and under hot humid condi- 
tions, results are often unsatisfactory. We shall, at all times, endeavor to give you seed of the best possibie strains 
and viability.
