SOW ANNUALS NOW? 
That may seem an absurd question, to be answered 
quickly in negative; but there are, nevertheless, several 
wonderfully showy summer annuals that give best ef¬ 
fect only when seed is sown late the fall before, for 
like the other things in this folder, they need cold to 
give them the right start. Here are four good ones.

with a great tassel of golden stamens. Pkt. 15c.
