Cheiranthus—S ee Wallflower. 
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 
net 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, Calendulas, 
Moonflower, Antirrhinum, Alyssum, Nicotiana, 
Gypsophila, Cynoglossum, Larkspur, Annual 
Lupinus, Calliopsis, Euphorbia, Kochia, Esch¬ 
scholtzia, 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.
