PARK’S PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
The varieties listed in Part IV are all hardy 
perennials or biennials, and may be sown in 
spring or midsummer. We recommend sowing 
perennial seeds in the Spring. Seeds germinate 
better in the cool weather than in the heat of 
mid-summer, and the longer growing period pro- 
duces larger plants which winter over easily. 
THE HARDY PERENNIALS AND BIENNIALS 
LISTED IN THIS PART will bloom the second 
year from seed.
