QUICK ANNUAL FLOWERS 
If you want a “different” garden, more delight¬ 
ful than that of your neighbor,—if you want to 
get away from‘the hackneyed run of ordinary 
annual flowers—pretty as many of them are,— 
if you like to try new things and find new 
beauties, then you will enjoy the assortment of 
splendid rarities offered here. Of course some 
of them are annuals only by courtesy, being true 
perennials that will live for years, but every one 
of them will give fine flowers the same season 
that the seed is sown, if handled rightly, and so 
may be considered and treated as annuals.
