FARQUHAR'S FLOWER SEEDS. 



ANNUALS. 



The plants in the following list all bloom the first season from seeds. Many plants not annuals botanically, are included 

 because they bloom the first season, and for cultural purposes may be treated as annuals. 



THE ANNUAL FLOWERS are equally valuable to professional and amateur gardeners. Few cultivators realize the vast 

 possibilities they afford at a minimum cost and they include a large portion of our most brilliantly colored summer flowers. For cut 

 flowers, garden beds, either in masses of color or for fohage effects, they furnish ample material. A few of them like the Asters, 

 Poppies, Sweet Peas, and Nasturtiums are well known and largely used; there are however, many beautiful species which we enumerate 

 in the following list, which are seldom seen, and which would be appreciated were they once grown.
