PRODUCED IN OUR OWN GARDENS 
Easy to place them, because the height is marked on the label. 
Average distance apart is 1 foot: tall, bushy or spreading types at 
wider intervals; dwarfer ones closer together. 
To fill bare space the first year, sow seeds of Annuals; one or more 
of the Collections described at the end of the Flower Seed Section 
will be found most helpful in this regard.
