| I bought this seed packet when I traveled for work last year, but I don't know the languages. Could any of you recognize the language(s)? If I know the language I can use online translation.
TIA!

| The second section is French; first likely German. |

| Yup, first is German - third might be Italian? |

| Thanks all! I bought the packet in Switzerland, so the first one might be Swiss German indeed. |

| The first is German. Do you need a translation? I think it says to sow 4-6 weeks before the last frost. |

| I tried some online translator, and I think I got this: cold treat for 4-6 weeks at 0 to 5C, then bring to germination at 18C, then transplant at 12cm distance. I am starting this a little too late, but oh well, nothing to lose, so I am going to give it a try. |

| Good luck! You will need it. Gentiana germination is on the tricky side. I've had good luck with gibberellic acid treatments to break the dormancy. |
