ANNUAL FLOWERS—If you want quick annual 
flowers, choose those with a star (*) before the 
variety name. Annuals, of course, bloom one season 
only, and must be sown afresh each year. Where 
the ster follows the name, it indicates hardy and 
enduring perennials, that will, nevertheless, flower 
first season if sown early.

like Lily of the Valley, will spread to form great patches.
