ANNUALS 
Easy and quick to grow, annuals provide a host of colorful 
bloom thruout the entire summer. The life of the annual is, 
of course, but one season. Selecting from an almost endless 
variety available, your annual flower-bed is easy to plan. 
Important too, for you will want flowers all summer long; 
therefore the length of period of bloom should be weighed 
carefully in choosing varieties. The ultimate size of plant 
should also be taken into account for you will not want tall 
annuals in the foreground hiding smaller ones. Color of 
bloom is also important in planning the arrangement of 
your garden for a pleasant result.
