PETUNIA 



One of the easiest grown annuals. Can 

 be sown where they are to grow, or can 

 be started in a culdframe and trans- 

 planted for earlier bloom. Seed of the 

 double varieties should be very carefully 

 sown, as they are less vigorous, and be 

 sure that you save all of the weakest, 

 poorest seedlings, as they probably are 

 the best double flowers. 



SINGLE PETUNIAS (For Bedding) 

 Dwarf Inimitable. Dwarf plants, 6 to 



8 inches high ; flowers cherry-red, with

PHLOX DRUMMONOn 



The annual varieties should be sown in masses or ribbon beds. 

 This class is very easily grown from 

 seed, giving a brilliant display of color. 

 Sow as soon as the frost is out of the 

 ground in the spring and for later bloom- 

 ing in IVIay. For beds and massing 

 nothing can surpass these beautiful an- 

 nuals. They produce immense trusses 

 of large, brilliant flowers of numberless 

 hues throughout the summer. Hardy

POPPY (Papaver) 



Following directly after the tulips, the 

 Poppies give our gardens a season of pro- 

 fusion of bloom until frost. For beds and 

 borders, with a background of green, 

 are very beautiful. Shirley Poppies are 

 beautiful for cutting, taking them early 

 in the morning while the dew is still on 

 them, they will last easily all day in the 

 house. They are difficult to transplant, 

 so seed should be sown where they are 

 to bloom. Sow thinly, covering over 

 lightly, and thin the plants to standing a 

 foot apart.
