(8) Many annuals are quite fra- grant. (9) Range of colors in annuals is very wide, even in the same species. (10) Annuals are supreme for quick effect. PERENNIALS (1) Bloom year after sowing. 12) Perennials come up year after year. (3) Provide flowers in bloom 9 months of the year. (4) Most perennials bloom for only 2 or 3 weeks. (5) Make their best show in May and June with another display in the fall. (6) Perennial seeds cost more but need only be bought once. (7) Perennials with few exceptions yield but one yearly crop of bloom. (8) Most perennials lack fragrance. (9) Most perennials are limited in color range in the same species. (10) Perennials are permanent by nature and with care will last for years. Cultural Directions Sowing flower seeds: There is little difference between sowing annual or perennial seeds. One cardinal rule to follow is not to cover the seed too deeply. Very fine seed should be sown on top of fine soil and not covered at all. Even the largest flower seed should not be covered more than Va inch. For early bloom, start indoors in February, March or April in shallow pots or seed flats. To prevent "damping off" treat seed with one of the seed disinfectants (Spergon 25c or Semesan 50c), water sparingly in dull weather and keep temperatiare between 65 degrees to 70 degrees. Transplant seedlings to pots or into flats 2 inches apart as soon as large enough to handle. Transplant outdoors as soon as danger from frost is past. Most
