In California, to obtain the best naturalizing effect, it is imperative to make 
sowings with or immediately following the first fall rains. 
California annuals are best in effect when massed and are well adapted for use 
in Eastern gardens, where they should be sown as soon as frost is over. They 
require perfect drainage, light soil, shallow sowing and little water after they 
are once established. 
About eight pounds of seed are needed to sow one acre. For garden purposes, 
one ounce will sow from 150 to 200 square feet.
