Full Directions for Sowing Seeds Under Culture 
A, B, C, etc., Will Be Found On Page 50 
Annual flowers are those that flower and mature seed in one season. Annuals 
are divided into two classes—hardy and half-hardy. In the latitude of 
Norfolk, the hardy annuals may be sown out-of-doors from the middle of 
March to the middle of May. The seeds of a good many hardy annuals will 
winter over, and germinate the following spring, and when once established 
in the garden, will come up each year without much attention. The half- 
hardy annuals should be sown in a greenhouse or hotbed during March or 
April, and transplanted to the open ground after the nights have become 
warm in May. L , 
Most flower seeds are exceedingly small, and should be sown in light sandy 
soil that has not been fertilized and covered to a depth equal to three times 
their own diameter. (Fertilizer should not be used until. the plants have 
become well rooted.) Extremely small seeds should be sown on top of the 
soil, and just barely pressed in. A piece of thin burlap placed over the seed 
bed will be found a great protection, and an aid to germinating the seed, but 
it must be removed just as soon as the seeds have germinated. Extreme 
care should be used in watering, which should be done with a very fine spray.
