MY EXPERIENCE 



Is that unbounded pleasure and un- 

 alloyed satisfaction arc to be had 

 with very little labor from the beautiful free Flowering Annuals. 

 They are among my dearest pets. Therefore I give them speci 

 attention. As a rule Annuals may be sown in the ground about 

 corn-planting time, or they may be started in the house or in hot- 

 beds earlier and transplanted to the garden when danger of frost is 

 over. A rather light and moderately rich soil, thoroughly spaded, 

 is most desirable. Do not grow the plants too thick. Keep the 

 weeds down and the surface of the soil well stined with a hoe or 

 rake during the summer, especially if the wea.lher is dry.
