'&M Flowers 



What One Ought to Plant 



T X 7"ITH so many easily grown annuals to choose 

 V V from it is worth considering a little that we 

 may get something that really fits into its place and 

 fulfils the purpose in view. Unsightly gaps in the 

 garden may occur or there may be a bare fence 

 or wall that needs hiding. For this annuals offer 

 an immediate solution, if we take pains to se- 

 lect proper ones. We must not be careless as to 

 color and form, for at their height of bloom they 

 should make delightful combinations with the 

 longer lived plants in the garden. 



Avoid seed mixtures unless you know just what 

 colors are used, for frequently there are, in these 

 mixtures, colors that are either garish or mediocre 

 when used with neutral or vivid tones. Petunias, 

 zinnias and phlox are sometimes most disappoint- 

 ing when grown from mixed seeds. It is better 

 to buy distinct varieties and plant them in the 

 desired contrast. 



Coreopsis, cosmos, poppies, and most annuals 

 of simple form are very effective in broad plant- 

 ings. Field effects are charming indeed. 



Flowers borne in racemes are peculiarly striking 

 against walls, dark hedges, or in corners. Low 

 plants of compact habit are very useful as path 

 outlines. Wild-flower types are at their best in 

 colonies. 



The following is a classification of certain annuals 

 with regard to their location in the garden and the 

 proper distance apart to plant:
