Annual Varieties 
Do not confound these annuals with the 
winter-flowering sorts of the florists. They 
bloom profusely from early summer until 
frost, and, when grown in large beds or 
masses, their bright colors make a splendid 
show. The plants can be brought into bloom 
early by sowing the seeds in frames or win¬ 
dow-boxes, and afterward transplanting to Annual Chrysanthemums 
the garden; or seed may be sown where the 
plants are to flower, if the seedlings are thinned to 8 to 10 inches apart. Pinching back in early 
growth makes the plants bushy and shapely. 1 to 1)4 feet. Pkt. J4oz.
