The above is of course, a very sketchy list, they are simply 
the annuals that I cannot do without. 
For those who like adventures in gardening and wish each New 
year to make new plant acquaintances, I would advise trying Varieties 
some of the California annuals such as Collinsia hicolor, an 'California 
annual two feet high preferring a semi-shaded place. Sow early Annuals 
where they are to bloom. As they mature in twelve weeks they 
make a good ground cover for Tulips. These California annuals 
such as Nemophila, Layia, Phacelia and Escholtzia do better if 
sown as soon as the snow is off and before the frost is out of the 
ground ; most of them are through blooming in time to give their 
space up to the ten-week Stocks and Asters which you have set 
out at the end of June. For newly ploughed ground which needs 
a quick covering the first season, nothing is better than Payne's 
No. 1 mixture of California wild flower seeds. If scattered thinly 
very early in the spring, the strange little flowers keep you busily 
studying your botany till frost comes. Payne has a No. 2 
mixture for shady places. His address will be found in the Seed 
Directory in this Bulletin. 
Last season my foreign seeds of St. Anthony's AVillow (white Last Year's 
Epilobium) did not germinate, neither did the new giant yellow Failures 
Scabiosa, but I have sent for them again as they are so well 
worth any trouble it takes to get them. If the true Brazilian^ 
Heavenly Blue Morning-glory will flower for you you are indeed
