The ground should be dug and raked fine on the surface, sowing the seeds evenly and thinly, either in lines or beds, covering not over four times their size, and finning the ^r-.'l over them. Should they come up too thickly, as most of them are likely to do, thin out so that the plants will stand from 4 to 12 inches apart, according to the variety. This plan is also adapted to many varieties usually started indoors, including Asters, Verbenas, Celosias, Stocks, Salvia, etc., etc.; but as a rule their germination is more certain under glass, and as they begin to flower so much earlier when started indoors, the extra trouble is well repaid for by their increased blooming period. The seeds of most Hardy Perennials may be sown at any time from January to October. Early sowing should be made indoors in boxes in the same manner as described above, or they may be sown out of doors in spring after the frost has gone and trans- planted into their flowering position in early autumn or the follow ing spring.
