ANNUALS 
These play a big part in the great color schemes of brilliant 
beds and borders in our Summer gardens. Both for garden 
effect and for cutting their beauty and usefulness is equally 
valuable. 
HARDY ANNUALS. Sow in the open ground where they 
are intended to bloom. The seeds should be sown thinly and 
covered with fine soil to a greater or less depth, according to 
the size of the seed. 
HALF-HARDY ANNUALS. The seeds should be sown 
in pans or frames in the early Spring, and transplanted out 
doors in April or May, but previous to removal they should 
be hardened off by gradually exposing to the open air.
