Annuals have only in the past few years come into their rightful place in the planting scheme. 
They have, in the past, been considered separately from the regular planting, segregated in special 
places or beds instead of in conjunction with the rest of the planting. 
While there is a place for separate beds of annuals, that is only one of many ways in which 
they can be used. They are especially good to fill in the vacant places in perennial borders and 
supply that much needed color in Midsummer. They are good to fill in empty spaces in young 
shrub borders. They supply bright dashes of color in the rock garden after the brilliant display 
of the early-flowering perennial plants is past. Annuals are also the most effective and economical 
plants to use after the Tulip beds have faded. Then there is the old-established custom of using 
them in window and porch boxes. 
Not only are the varied uses of annuals responsible for their popularity, but also the ever- 
widening range of varieties and colors which have come about the past few years. A demand for 
separate colors in the more popular varieties has also been felt and an up-to-date nursery should 
supply this need. They are obtainable in small plants at a very low cost or in seeds. 
In planting annuals masses of separate colors, thus giving contrast, is so much more effective 
than a hit or miss planting of many colors. 
Planting time of annuals usually begins about the middle of May, depending upon exposure, 
although some of the hardier varieties can be planted before this time and the most tender vari¬ 
eties should be set out after this time. 
Protection from frost is sometimes necessary. The short amount of time required to cover 
with newspapers is more than compensated for by the additional growth of the plants. 
In purchasing annuals care should be taken to purchase young plants that are not woody and 
stem hard. Stem-hard plants never develop properly and 
always remain stunted. Purchasing directly from a reliable 
grower is the best guarantee for good results.
