FOR SUMMER AND FALL 
BLOOMING 
Plant some early, midseason, and 
late varieties for an abundance of 
bloom. If you have had trouble with 
plants wilting we recommend only the 
Wilt-resistant strains (look for the 
mark W.R.). A rich, deeply dug soil in 
a sunny location is required. Never 
allow the plants to become checked 
from lack of moisture or overcrowding.
