Annual' Larkspur is among the greatest favor- 

 ites because it is so easy to grow and comes in 

 so many showy colors. Where summers are hot 

 they should be sown as early in the spring as 

 possible, but results axe still better from sowings 

 made during the latter part of September as the 

 seedlings are perfectly winter-hardy.
