“ Annuals” are plants which grow from seed, flower, and 
die in one year under ordinary conditions of their requirements 
of growth. 
These plants require good soil and space for develope- 
Thin them freely 
ment if the best results are to be attained. 
when the seedlings are large enough to handle; those a foot 
and more in height ought to be left from six inches to a 
toot apart, with the exception of Sweet Peas; those less than 
a foot in height should be left from three to six inches apart. 
Packets of seed may be purchased at prices varying from 
one penny to one shilling each, in quantities to suit all 
gardens. A good display of hardy annuals may be produced 
for the first cost of half-a-crown.
