STAFFEL’S ANNUALS... jo: Lovely Colo 
OW would you like color in your garden quickly .. . 
with Flowers to cut by the armful all summer long? 
It’s easy. Just plant Staffel’s Annuals with a bit 
of foresight and you'll have all the Flowers you want! 
For earliest possible bloom, sow seed indoors and trans- 
plant. Or, come down to Staffel’s as early as February and 
buy the plants. But ... and remember this... you’ll get 
PLENTY of flowers if you wait till the danger of frost 
is past and sow the seed where you want the plants to 
grow outdsors. They’ll grow anywhere in just about any 
kind of soil and they” grow bigger and better if they 
get at least a half-day of sun ... with plenty of water 
and a bit of Vigoro, the complete plant food, worked 
around them from time to time. 





There is nothing . . . 
nothing in this world . .. 
that can make the exterior 
of your home look as lovely 
- as lived in... as 
a profusion of blooming 
plants!
