The plan for continuous bloom demands that these 

 plants of the first division be started under glass by 

 April 1. Those in the second and third division are 

 better sown in the open. Those marked with a star 

 should not be transplanted if avoidable. 



Portulaca, Petunia, and Nicotiana do not germinate 

 in the open ground until nearly the first of June.
