Canterbury Bells and Foxglove are a neces- 
sary part of every hardy border. Since they 
are biennials, seed should be sown every year.

In my opinion, there is no other seed company 
which is so generous in the amount of seed to a 
packet. Also have never found seeds to average as 
high a germination from any other company. In 
the past number of years I have used seed from at 
least 25 leading seedsmen. None has averaged as 
good germination as yours.
