Under this heading, ANNUALS, we give not only the true Annuals, but all those flowers that 
blossom the first season they are planted. On the lines with the headings, in large type, will be 
found figures which refer to the page in Vick's Flower and Vegetable Garden, in which 
the flower or vegetable mentioned will be found fully described, and its character more plainly 
shown by the aid of illustrations. All necessary directions for culture, &c., will be found in this 
work. For instance, the first article mentioned is “ Abronia, page 14.” On page 14 of the 
Flower and Vegetable Garden will be found a history of this flower, its native home, &c. 
The same descriptions will be found in No. 1 of Floral Guide of last year. 
The figures on the right of the column show the price of each package of seed, for instance a 
package of Adonis is five cents. These packages contain from one hundred to five hundred 
seeds, though of new or scarce seeds the quantity is far less.
