Annual Flower Seeds 
Annual flowers live only one year. They 
grow from seed, bloom and die in one season. 
By removing the dead flowers they will bloom 
from early summer until frost. 
ASTER 
A continuous display of Asters from midsummer until 
frost can be had by planting early, midseason, and late 
varieties. If you have had trouble with wilt, we advise 
planting the wilt-resistant varieties and as an added 
precaution, plant in soil not previously planted with 
Asters. The seeds may be sown in the garden where 
they are to flower any time after the ground is thor- 
oughly warm until the middle of June, or they may be 
started in the house for earlier blooms.
