AUTUMN SEED-SOWING 
Seeds of certain hardy perennials, and of many bulbs, shrubs 
and trees, need a period of exposure to low soil temperatures 
in order to germinate. The best way to handle such seeds is to 
sow them in open ground seedbeds, or 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 December, January and February 
with excellent results. Of course seeds of house plants may be 
sown any time of year, usually under glass. 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. 57 for descriptions.
