« Plants of Annual Flowers + 
FOR FLOWER BEDS, PORCH BOXES, ETC. . . . INCLUDING NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
The varieties listed are suitable for transplanting, but those like Mignonette, Clarkia, Lupine, Nastur- 
tium, Candytuft, and many others not listed here are best sown where wanted as they resent transplant- 
ing. For these we offer seeds. 
Young plants transplant most readily and give better results than older plants which are stem-hard 
and consequently become more or less stunted. We make successive sowings to have plants of proper 
age for transplanting. Purchasing directly from a reliable grower is the best guarantee for good results. 
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 varieties should be set 
out after this time. 
Protection from frost is sometimes necessary. The short amount of time required to cover with news- 
papers is more than compensated for by the additional growth of the plants. 
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 peren- 
nial 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 up-to-date nurseries should supply this need. They 
are obtainable in small plants at a very low cost or in seeds.
