Successive Sowings Bring Blooms all Season 
One of the grandest garden annuals. So easy to 
grow, that the mere throwing of seed on the ground 
will bring forth their gay, flaunting colors. Masses 
of beautiful hybrids have been evolved, vying with 
each other in glorious beauty. The annual varieties 
should be sown where they are to flower, as they 
will not stand transplanting. Sow seed thinly, cover 
lightly, and thin to 8 in, apart. Can be sown as late 
as June, but the best plants are those grown from 
early sowings when the soil is cool and moist. If 
the flowers are gathered early in the morning when 
the dew is on them, and the end of the stems dipped 
_ in hot water to stop bleeding, they will remain fresh 
for several days.
