SOMERSET’S 
Perennial 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 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 re- 
sules are obtaned 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 conditions, results are often unsatisfactory. 
We shall, at all times, endeavor to give you seed of the best possible strains and viability.
