Henderson's Flower Seed Collections 



ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS. These complete the cycle of their existence 

 growing from seed to seed in one year. Many sorts require to be sown in 

 some sheltered situation such as a greenhouse, cold frame, or window box 

 about a month before they may be planted outdoors. By sowing thus early, 

 the growing season is proportionately prolonged. Others may be sown where 

 they are to stand, but require careful attention for the first few weeks. 



Annuals offer a large field for selection, embracing plants of all kinds, from 

 the modest Sweet Alyssum to the gorgeous Salvia, the majestic Ricinus, and 

 dainty Cosmos. They_ are found in every conceivable shade of color, and 

 are adaptable for growing as single specimens, or planting for large effect in 

 clumps or masses, while others are well suited for making borders.

While there is no class of plantsthatwillsurvivebetterunderrigorouscondit" 

 ions, yet in order to achieve the best results thay should beplanted where they 

 can obtain ample sunlight, and may be easily watered. It is almost needless 

 to urge the importance of careful weeding, as weeds usually grow more 

 rapidly than the seedlings. If the rows are carefully marked when sown it 

 will be easy to distinguish the weeds. 



A continuity of bloom may be secured by occasional sowings of many 

 sorts, such as Eschscholtzia, Sweet Alyssum Phlox, Zinnia, etc. In the 

 latitude of New York these sowings may be made as late as June 15th.
