The ease of cultivation and the quickly effec- 
tive results obtained from Annuals make them 
indispensable, as they are adaptable to an almost 
endless variety of arrangement. 
Even in perennial borders, beds and rock gar- 
dens, annuals are very essential to bridge the 
span between periods of bloom of the perennials 
and to give desired color effects which are possi- 
ble only with annuals. Many varieties can be 
started indoors early and transplanted giving 
continuous bloom from early summer until frost. 
Some sorts are very easily grown in late summer 
to produce plants for the sun-parlor or conserva- 
tory where they will blossom during the winter. 
For very vigorous young plants in early spring 
the following may be sown outdoors in Novem- 
ber: Ageratum, Alyssum, Baby’s Breath, Calen- 
dula, Calliopsis, Candytuft, Clarkia, Cornflower, 
Cosmos, Cynoglossum, Dianthus, Larkspur, 
Nigelia, Shirley Poppies, Snapdragons and 
Sweet Peas. 
Annuals bloom more profusely than biennials 
or perennials, but it is advisable to cut the 
flowers before going to seed so that the plants 
continue to bloom freely.
