Summer Bedding J Plants 
The use of annuals to supplement the perennials in the hardy 
garden or border provides a wealth of all-summer color, and makes 
possible the continuance of a definite color-scheme through those 
periods when many perennials are out of bloom. The annual bed- 
ding-plants in the following list are, with a few exceptions, grown 
in pots; they are ready for shipment after the middle of May from 
our Lexington greenhouses. 
ANNUAL BEDDING PLANTS ARE CARRIED IN STOCK 
AT LEXINGTON ONLY 
Orders placed at North Abington or Brookline may be called for 
at those points if so arranged; otherwise shipment will be made direct 
from Lexington by express. 



ANNUALS FOR LATE PLANTING 
In general, annual bedding plants are set out before May 30 
and our stock is in prime condition at that time. For June 
planting at summer camps and cottages we prepare a later crop; 
but we recommend that orders for late shipments be placed well 
in advance so that we can reserve sufficient quantities.
