Seeds of Perennial Flowers 
_ The varieties in this section produce plants which live on from year to year, increasing in 
size and beauty with age. A‘few exceptions are the biennials listed, such as Campanula Medium, 
Digitalis, etc., which bloom the second year and then die. All may be produced from seed. 
Culture. The seed is generally started 
outdoors from June to September, and 
the young plants are either set in their 
permanent places in the fall and given 
light protection the first season, or carried 
over the first winter In a coldframe. Start- 
ing seed in the cool weather of spring is 
really better and the larger plants pro- 
duced are easter wintered over.
