The varieties catalogued under the above heading, while not all strictly annuals, yet 

 will all bloom, or, if foliage plants, attain perfection the same season, provided that the 

 seeds are sown reasonably early in the spring. This class of plants is highly appreci- 

 ated as they save the expense and trouble of carrying plants over winter for the summer 

 garden, and because they come quietly to perfection from seed and make effective bed* and 

 brilliant masses of color scarcely equaled by any other class of plants.
