Plants of Spring and Summer Flowering Annuals 
The Annuals, plants which bloom the same sea¬ 
son from young seedlings planted in Spring, are the 
most prolific source of brilliant color, and are indispen¬ 
sable to the colorful garden. Because they flower so 
quickly after planting; there is such an endless variety 
of colors and types from which to choose; and because 
it is always time to set out one or more kinds, they 
serve to keep up interest in gardening the year ’round. 
Paul J. Howard’s Annual Flowering Plants are Crown 
from Seed of the Choicest Strains Procurable, from 
World Wide Sources, Wherever the Best is Produced. 
of year the bulbs (planted the previous fall) are ready 
to dig and store away and the beds should be replanted 
with flowering plants which will blossom during the 
summer months. 
Our Spring annuals as well as our Fall annuals are 
grown in pots and are easily and safely transplanted. 
Most varieties of plants are ready April first (some ear¬ 
lier and some later) and should be planted as soon as 
the weather is warm enough.
