General List of Annual Flowers 
Everybody’s flower is the right title for these. They are like the fleeting visitor—here to¬ 
day, gone to-morrow. Their class name is derived from the fact that they complete their life 
the year they are sown. Some are called "Hardy Annuals” because they will succeed easily 
and complete their life even though they may not be sown until May and then out of doors. 
When a flower is called "Half-Hardy Annual” it should be understood that the seed requires 
starting early, either in a hotbed out of doors or in boxes indoors. "Tender Perennials” should 
receive the same treatment as "Half-Hardy Annuals.”

Abutilon “Ileatherhome” Giants 
A plant used with tolling effect in ornamental or tropical bedding, but equally showy as a 
specimen or when used in Italian vases. Its slender stems are completely bedecked with leaves 
resembling maples, some are green and some have a variegation of green and white. Toward 
the top from each leaf-axil appear the bell-shaped flowers in colors of pink, scarlet, white, yellow, 
and orange. The strain we offer is an improved one, as the flowers are much larger and face 
forward, showing the beauties of its interior. Seed should be sown in hothouses and the plants 
should remain there until they can be planted out. This flower is classed a tender perennial. 
As a conservatory plant it is invaluable, as t will flower all winter long. Height, 3 feet.

Ageratum (Floss Flower) 
A very popular bedding plant, being solidly covered with fine, feathery flowers, creating a 
carpet effect in the gardens. The foliage is dense, but is hardly seen when the plant is in bloom. 
All flowers should be carefully removed before going to seed, for otherwise the total effect would 
be much marred by the brown seed tops. The shades of bluish-lavender one finds among 
these plants are better than usual Being a half-hardy annual the seed should be sown from 
January until April, either in the house or in the hotbed. It could also be sown outdoors in 
May, but no flowers would then appear until late in the fall. The dwarfer varieties are excellent 
for edging or carpet bedding, the taller ones are splendid for cutting.
