before planting. A good application of 
commercial fertilizer (5-7-5) should be 
applied two weeks before the plants 
are set out, for quick results. Avoid 
high powered fertilizers unless you 
have had a considerable experience 
with their use. Fertilize lightly but 
often (every two weeks) during the 
growing period, and do not stop until 
tiie blooming season is nearly over. 
Almost all of the annuals are of the 
easiest culture, and there is no secret 
concerning their culture that the ama¬ 
teur need fear. An even moisture, good 
fertilization, and common sense will do 
all that the best experts can do. 
All of our annual plants are grown 
in STERILIZED soil, by an expert, and 
are hardened off before sending out. 
While we do carry some varieties in 
flats, we recommend that everyone use 
our pot-grown plants, for they are 
much easier to make live. 
If you do not find your favorites in 
this list, ask us about them, for we have 
a few of some varieties that are not 
listed.
