They are, of course, cultivated only as biennials, but some annual specimens may be seen each year and in nearly every field. They arise from the same seed as the normal individuals, and their number is obviously dependent on external conditions, and especially on the time of sowing.
For the Garden, You, and I, three superficial groups only are necessary: the truly hardy perennial pinks, that when once established remain for years; the half-hardy perennials that flower the second year after planting, and require protection; and the biennials that will flower the first year and may be treated as annuals.
It really is not such a difficult undertaking as most people imagine, for by the use of an ordinary ladder one can get at most parts of a building, and reach such portions of the vines as need attention most. The most satisfactory garden of flowering plants for small places, all things considered, is one composed of hardy herbaceous perennials and biennials. This for several reasons: 1st.
Translated and edited by Alfred W. Bennett, New York. John Wiley and Sons. 1877. Fleshy Roots. The scholars are already familiar with the storing of food for the seedling in or around the cotyledons, and will readily understand that these roots are storehouses of food for the plant. The Turnip, Carrot, and Beet are biennials; that is, their growth is continued through two seasons.
Although unconscious, the selection of biennials must have been uninterrupted and strict throughout many centuries. It has had no effect at all. Annuals are seen to return every year. They are ineradicable.
As I look back now through the summers I seem to see a tangle of color stretching across the years. It is our garden our flowers always a riot of disorder, always a care and a trial, always beloved and glorious. One year I planted some canterbury-bells the blue and the white. They are biennials, and bloom the second year. The blue ones came wonderfully, but the white ones apparently failed.
The Margaret carnations, though biennials, are best treated as annuals, for they may be had in flower in three to four months after the sowing of the seed, and the English perennial border carnations, bizarres, and picotees will live for several years, but in this climate must be wintered in a dry wooden cold pit, after the manner of the perennial varieties of wallflowers, tender roses, and the like.
