FLOWER SEED FOR FALL SOWINGS 
There are a number of flower seeds which should be sown in the fall for 
best results. as the length of time to hot weather from spring sowings is too 
short to allow for best development. To this class belong Pansies, Violets and 
Daisies. Other varieties, such as Sweet Peas, need an early start, especially in 
Florida and Gulf Coast section, October to December sowings being best. In 
I he lower half of Florida and extreme Southwest Texas, such kinds as Dian- 
thus or Pinks, Marigolds, Nasturtiums, Petunias, Poppies, Verbenas, can be 
sown almost any time during the fall months, adding brightness to home 
surroundings during the winter months.
