A large number of annuals may be planted in the 
Fall, rather than waiting for Spring. There is a 
double advantage in this plan, for not only does it 
save work in the busy season, but it gives the plants 
a very early Spring start. Annual varieties which 
will winter safely in most sections from Fall sown 
seed are: Centaureas, Poppies, Petunias, Calen¬ 
dulas, Moonflower, Antirrhinium, Alyssum, Nico- 
tiana, Gypsophila, Cynoglossum, etc. It is best to 
protect the seed bed with litter during the Winter, 
so that heavy rains will not wash any unsprouted 
seeds out of their regular rows before they sprout 
the following Spring.
