ALL KINDS OF PLANT MATERIALS FOR THE 

 RETAIL GROWER 



ANNUALS WHAT THEY ARE AND DO 



UNDER annuals we class those plants which we grow from 

 seed, whether started in Spring for Summer flowering or 

 later to be grown on to flower under glass during the Winter 

 and Spring months. To the retail grower in particular annuals are 

 of importance and greatly improved varieties are being sent out; as 

 we find out more and more about their cultural requirements under 

 glass, we can make them bring better returns than ever before.
