ANNUALS FOR FALL SOWING 
Hardy annuals, which may be planted irr fall, will bloom much earlier than those growni from 
spring sown seed. The purpose in fall planting is not to germinate the seed in autumn, but to 
get the seed in place and ready to grow with the first favorable weather of spring. Thus the seed 
should be sown slightly deeper than in spring (for example: Plant sweet peas 4 to 6 in. deep). 
After the soil freezes, a protecting mulch should be applied. Following are varieties of hardy 
annuals we recommend for fall sowing.
