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 pro- fessionals make summer sowings in a cold frame shaded with a lath frame or shaded glass sash, but the amateur may have more success and less bother grow- ing hardy perennials from seed sown in the open ground than in any other way. Prepare a bed in a nice, sheltered spot in 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 inches apart, and here sow the seed, keeping the varieties of one kind or nature as much together as practical ; 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. (Milfoil, or Yarrow.)
