How to Grow FLOWERS all. Yoar ‘Round. 
CULTURE II 
The quicker growing annuals can be 
sown directly in the garden and will 
bloom in time to make a good display 
for most of the summer. If early flow- 
ers of these are wanted, start as di- 
rected under I. As flower seedlings are 
delicate, prepare beds carefully. Use 
about 2% lbs. of good general mixed 
fertilizer to every 100 sq. ft. Next ap- 
ply peat or compost and dig in. Rake 
surface to a smooth seed bed and sow 
seeds as recommended on the packets 
or in the catalog listings. Water thor- 
oughly and keep moist until first true 
leaves are formed. When second leaves 
appear, thin out and transplant extras. 
CULTURE Ill 
Plant where they are to bloom. Seed 
as soon as danger of heavy frost is 
over. Other culture same as II. Thin 
out, when plants are large enough to 
select the best ones. These flowers may 
be handled as pot-grown seedlings 
(Culture VII) if early bloom is wanted. 
Do not try to transplant. Disturb the 
roots as little as possible when setting 
out from pots. 
CULTURE IV 
These flowers can withstand heavy 
frost and are hardy annuals. They can 
be sown in the fall and will germinate 
in the spring. If not fall sown, they

should be planted in the spring as soon 
as the soil can be worked. These flow- 
ers make their growth early and do 
very little in mid-summer. By feed- 
ing and cutting off faded flowers, they 
can be revived to bloom in the fall. 
CULTURE V 
Not only garden flowers, but also can 
be used as winter flowering house 
plants. For garden use, handle ac- 
cording to II. For house plants, sow 
late in the season as old plants do not 
bloom well. As soon as the second pair 
of leaves appear, plant in 2%4” pots 
and keep shifting to larger pots, not 
more than two sizes larger, until they 
are in 6” pots. Annuals in pots should 
have five to six hours of direct sun- 
shine daily if they are to flower in- 
doors. 
CULTURE VI 
Except for a short time during the 
fall, perennials may be seeded any 
time during the year. They can be 
seeded in cold frames during the early 
spring and will grow when warmer 
weather comes. Cold frames or beds 
shaded from direct sun are best. Peren- 
nials are weak growers and need a 
well fertilized, friable seed bed so that 
a thick mat of roots will form and 
they will transplant easier. Cover 
lightly and water with a fine spray. 
INDEX 
When second leaves show, transplant 
to permanent positions or they can be 
left in the seedbeed until the following 
spring. Planting earlier does not in- 
crease the chance for first year blooms, 
but if it is more convenient to start 
perennials earlier in the spring, Cul- 
ture I may be used. 
CULTURE VII 
Because these annuals do not trans- 
plant readily and need a longer grow- 
ing period than can be given them 
out of doors, they must be started in 
pots or plant bands and set into per- 
manent position without disturbing the 
roots. Otherwise culture is the same 
as I. The use of plant bands is pre- 
ferred as the bands can be set directly 
in the soil where they soon rot and 
the seedlings will grow as if started in 
the garden. 
CULTURE VIII 
Biennials make a leafy growth the 
first year and bloom the following 
year. The flower or spike or stem ap- 
pears the second year, after which the 
plant dies. If a continuous bloom is 
wanted from biennials, a new planting 
must be made each year. Biennials are 
handled the same as perennials except 
that to allow the plant to store food 
for the next year’s bloom, the seed 
should be sown as early in the spring 
as the soil can be worked.
