SOWING HARDY ANNUALS 
Seeds of Hardy Annuals can be sown direct into 
the position in which the plants are to bloom; 
making spring and autumn sowings, the best 
months being March and April—September and 
October, respectively, for most types. Prepare 
the positions thoroughly, sow the seed very thinly 
and cover with fine sandy soil. Many species, in¬ 
cluding such favorites at Mignonette, Clarkia, 
Godetia, Nigella, Schizanthus and many others, 
transplant readily, and an earlier supply of bloom 
may be obtained by sowing these subjects in boxes 
in gentle heat during early March, hardening the 
plants prior to transplanting to their flowering 
positions during April. The first mentioned is 
popularly supposed to be a difficult subject to 
transplant, but this will not be found to be the 
case if transplanting is firmly done when the 
soil is in a fairly moist condition ; the plants 
should not be watered in, but may be freshened 
by spraying with a syringe, or fine rosed can, 
should the weather prove dry and sunny.
