Flower Seeds for Fall Sowing 
Many of the best-known annuals may be sown in the fall. Some varieties, like the Snapdragon and Larkspur, are 
better treated this way. Ground should be prepared and seed sown just previous to the late heavy frost. The seed 
will then lie dormant until spring when it will germinate. In the Northern States care should be taken not to sow 
too early as the seed will germinate and die instead of remaining dormant until spring.
