DREER'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS FOR SUMMER SOWING On the following ten pages we give a list of Seeds of the Best Hardy Perennials which are now so deservedly popular. With little trouble you can have an abundant supply of Columbines, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, Gaillardias, Hollyhocks, Lark- spurs, Forget-me-nots, Daisies, Sweet Williams, etc., etc., for flowering in 1913. The list also includes a choice selection of other Flower Seeds for summer sowing such as Cinerarias, Cyclamens, Pansies, Primulas, etc. Hardy perennials are easily grown from seed. In many cases they are a little slower than annuals, but with intelligent care they are successfully raised and from seed is an excellent way to get up a big stock of perennials. Most professionals make summer sowings in a cold frame shaded with a lath frame or sash, but the amateur may have more success and less bother growing hardy perennials from seeds sown in the open ground than in any other way. Prepare a bed in a nice, sheltered spot m the garden, preferably not very sunny; let the surface of the bed be raised four or five inches above the general level, and the soil be a mellow, free, fine earth on the surface. Draw shallow rows across the surface of the bed, three to four inctu s apart, and here sow the seed, keeping the varieties of one kini ornature as much together as practicable; cover the seeds thinly, press the whole surface gently, water moderately, then dust a little fine loose soil over all. If the weather is sunny or windy, shade with papers or a few branches, but remove these in the evening. When the seedlings come up thin them out to stiffen those that are left, and when they are two to three inches high, they are fit for transplanting into permanent quarters pfHIj wM ^^^^^^B^^jf* i^''' (itJ^pi^ ^^jflk^^SSlC^H fei^
