PLANTS OF ANNUAL FLOWERS 
For Flower Beds, Porch Boxes, Vases, etc. 
These plants are all started in the greenhouse, transplanted with plenty of space, well “hardened” in cold-frames, 
and so carefully packed they will reach you in good condition at the proper time for planting. 
You will have earlier flowers and save the inconvenience and muss of sowing the seed in the house.
