EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS 
(a) ANNUALS may be classed according to time that their seed may be 
sown. There are annuals which are known as hardy (ha). They are not 
hardy in the sense that the plants themselves live through cold spells but 
are hardy in that their seeds will stand the rigors of winter out of doors 
if provided protection of some sort. These are best planted in the Fall. 
Tender annuals (ta) are those whose foliage cannot stand cold of any sort. 
These should not be sown out of doors until all danger of frost is past. 
(p) PERENNIALS are those flowers which reseed themselves by virtue of the 
seed being hardy enough to withstand extreme cold or prolonged moisture 
without germinating. Usually remain dormant until the warmth of spring 
invites them to bloom again. 
(ba) BI-ANNUALS are those which actually are either perennials and an- 
nuals but can be treated as one or the other depending on the weather. 
Snapdragons and stocks, for instance, are really bi-annuals but for practical 
purposes are treated cas annuals. Anchusa, Alyssum and Iceland Poppies, 
on the other hand, altho technically perennial, should be considered strictly 
one-timers if their seed is subjected to an extremely cold winter.
