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. Sow seeds where the plants are wanted 
to bloom and thin out to 9 inches apart; 
earlier flowering plants can be had by sowing 
early in March in a coldframe, and trans- _ 
planting when large enough. Pinching back in early growth 
makes the plants bushy and shapely. 1 to 1^ feet.
