ANNUALS FOR FALL SOWING 
It is not generally known that many 
of our best and prettiest annuals may 
be sown in the Fall, and that some of 
them even do better when Fall sown. 
Among these are: 
Alyssum 
Calendula 
Calliopsis 
Candytuft 
Centaurea cyanus, 
and imperialis 
Clarkia 
Eschscholtzia 
Euphorbia 
Godetia 
Gypsophila 
Hunnemannia 
Kochia 
Larkspur 
Marvel of Peru 
Didiscus 
Linum 
Lupinus 
Nemophila 
Nigelia 
Nicotiana 
Bedding varieties of Petunias, Phlox, 
Poppies and Verbena. 
All the above will be found in splen¬ 
did variety in our list. 
Plants from Fall sown seeds are 
hardier, with better root systems, and 
can be transplanted in the cool wet 
weather of early April. They will 
bloom earlier, and the blooming season 
can be greatly lengthened if both Fall 
and Spring sowings are made. 
Care should be taken not to sow too 
early in the Fall, else the seeds will 
germinate and seedlings will winter 
kill. The middle fo November is the 
best time in this section.
