ANNUALS. 



The interest in annuals is steadily increasing and these easily grown flowers were 

 very popular with visitors to this station. One hundred and seventy-eight varieties 

 of annuals were sown in hot beds or the open ground. The seedlings were pricked out 

 as soon as they were large enough to handle and finally transplanted to flowering 

 quarters. Further details as to the date of sowing, height and blooming period are 

 given in the following tables : —
