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. For cut flowers, garden beds, either in masses of color or for foliage 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 how- 

 ever, many beautiful species which we enumerate in the following hst, which are seldom seen, and which would be appreciated were they 

 once grown.
