 ANNUAL FLOWERS 



The annual flower beds were well up to tJie average this past season. Owing to dry 

 weather and eununer frosts a number of varieties were checked and did not come into 

 bloom as early as usual but through August and early September the showing was 

 unusually fine. 



Asters, which have been affected with rust for the past two summers, were free 

 from disease this season and gave a show of bloom equal to anything that has been 

 had in past seasons. 



Sweet peas were late In blooming but eventually gave a magnificent show of bloom 

 which lasted up to October 7, when all flowers were destroyed by frost. The table below 

 gives a list of a number of the best annuals under test this season.
