Burpee Annual Flower Seeds 
Annual flowers are those which grow, bloom, seed and die in one season. 
They are attractive in the garden—some for bedding, some for borders, 
some for rock gardens, some fdr climbing or trailing and others for their 
foliage effect only. Many are invaluable for cutting. There are annual 
flowers for every purpose; all are lovely and, with proper selection, blooms 
can be had from early summer until frost. We offer a choice assortment. 
Burpee’s Annual Flowers are offered on pages 2 to 47, inclusive; 
some of the most popular classes are listed on the preceding pages as follows:
