“Annual Flowers’’ complete their life cycle from seed to seed in one growing 
season. They make the best investment if you like flowers because they cost little, 
bloom profusely, add color, beauty and fragrance to your garden and provide an 
abundance of cut-flowers for the house. 
A few, well chosen varieties from these pages, will assure flowers from early summer 
until fall frosts. 
Flowers around the borders and background of your Vegetable Garden will dress it 
up as it should be. The time you spend in growing flowers pays big dividends in 
satisfaction and you may as well have your share.
