It is often difficult for the gardener to know 
at what time of Spring to plant seeds outdoors, 
so as to avoid the danger of a late frost. 
Here is a rule, and a very old one, which will 
materially help. 
Sow hardy varieties when the Apple or 
Pear is in full flower, and plant the tender 
varieties when the Oak and other late sprouters 
are coming into leaf.

A large number of annuals may be planted 
in the Fall, rather than waiting for Spring. 
There is a double advantage in this plan, for 
not only does it save work in the busy season, 
but it gives the plants a very early Spring 
start. Annual varieties which will Winter 
safely in most sections from Fall sown seed 
are: Centaureas, Poppies, Petunias, Calen¬ 
dulas, Moonflower, Antirrhinum, Alyssum, 
Nicotiana, Gypsophila, Cynoglossum, Lark¬ 
spur, Annual Lupinus, Calliopsis, Euphorbia, 
Kochia, Eschscholtzia, Candytuft, etc. It is 
best to protect the seed bed with litter during 
the Winter, so that heavy rains will not 
wash any unsprouted seeds out of their 
regular rows before they sprout the following 
Spring.
