meen ALS 
ANNUALS are almost indis- 
pensable for color in the gar- 
den in the summer and au- 
tumn. Most annuals require 
full exposure to the sun and 
thrive in any good garden 
loam. 
Plants large enough to be 
moved directly to the garden 
beds can be had at the nur- 
sery. Care should be used in 
handling them at this stage, 
removing as much soil with 
the plant as when 
transplanitng. 
It is advisable to pinch back 
the top of each plant so as to 
stimulate new growth and 
make the plant strong and 
bushy. This also gives the 
roots a chance to get well 
established before putting out 
much new top growth. 
Most annuals respond well 
to a generous fgeding of com- 
mercial fertilizer up to the 
time of budding. Place the 
fertilizer at the top of the 
ground and soak in thor 
oughly. 
Annuals complete their en- 
tire life cycle in one year’s 
growth and if permitted to 
dry out, will quickly die. Be 
sure to keep these plants irri- 
gated well at all times.
