Flowers, as well as vegetables, grown by 
our gardening friends from Burpee Seeds 
annually win prizes at local shows, fairs, 
etc., in friendly competition with friends 
and neighbors. Each year we receive 
numerous letters from customers telling 
us of their winnings; we are just ashappy to 
know of their success as they were to win. 
Annual flowers are those which grow, 
bloom, séed and die in one season. They 
are attractive in the garden—some for 
bedding, some for borders, some for rock 
gardens, some for climbing or trailing 
and others for their foliage effect only. 
Manyare invaluable for cutting. Thereare 
annual flowers for every purpose; all are 
lovely and with proper selection, blooms 
can be had from early summer until frost.
