ANNUALS FOR NATURALIZING 
California annuals give the most satisfactory effect when massed. In California, 
to obtain the best results it is imperative to make sowings with or immediately 
following the first fall rains. Clear the ground. Loosen and break up the soil. 
Scatter seed and rake lightly. The ground should have some moisture after sowing 
and during the early stages of growth. Most of the species prefer light soil and 
good drainage. 
California annuals are well adapted for use in Eastern gardens, where they should 
be sown as soon as frost is over. They require perfect drainage, light soil, shallow 
sowing and little water after they are once established. 
About eight pounds of seed are needed to sow one acre. For garden purposes 
one ounce will sow from 150 to 200 square feet.
