A large nmnber of annuals may be planted in the Fall, 
rather than waiting for Spring. There is a double ad¬ 
vantage 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 wliich will “winter” safely in 
most sections from Fall sown seed are: Centaureas, 
Poppies, Petunias, Calendulas, Moonflower, Antirrhinum, 
Alyssum, Nicotiana, Gypsophila, Cynoglossum, Larkspur, 
Annual Lupinus, Calliopsis, Euphorbia, Kochia, Esch- 
scholtzla. 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.
