PERENNIAL AND BIENNIAL FLOWER SEED 
As a general rule, cover to a depth of the thickness of the seeds. 
Some seeds are of much slower germination than others. For in- 
stance, Hardy Primulas will often lie dormant in the ground for six 
months to a year and Columbines for two to three months. As soon 
as the plants are large enough to handle, they should be transplanted 
to the permanent location in the perennial border or nursery rows. 
Perennial seed may be sown outdoors from May until September. 
A good, finely sifted soil should be used, to which add some sand 
and granulated peat moss. It is absolutely necessary that a shaded 
location be selected, or if sown in a coldframe, lath coverings or sash 
covered with burlap should be used. The soil must be kept moist at 
all times.
