FARQUHAR'S FLOWER SEEDS. 



ANNUALS. 



The plants la 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 

 possibiUties they afford at a minimum cost and they include a lh,rge portion of our most brilliantly colored summer flowers. 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 weU known and largely used; there are however, many beautiful species which we enumerate 

 'n the foUowing list, which are seldom seen, and which would be appreciated were they once grown.
