Summer treatment outdoors. Half-hardy annuals may be planted 

 in beds, used as lines, set in groups in mixed borders. After they 

 have been planted they need practically the same treatment as 

 hardy annuals which have been thinned. One point is hoeing, 

 which is beneficial to all classes of annuals; it keeps weeds down 

 and aerates the soil. Staking will only be needed with a few of 

 the latter kinds, but when plants begin to sprawl about they should 

 be drawn together and supported (see remarks under Flower Garden 

 Herbaceous plants). If slugs and snails are troublesome, freshly 

 slaked lime should be dusted over the plants at night. Most annuals 

 bloom for a longer period than they would do naturally if the 

 flowers are gathered before they have time to ripen their seeds.
