12 MONTH FLOWER CROPPING PROGRAM 
Winter 
Pansies covered from November to March. Seed sown in 
previous March (under a P.M.G.). Plants put out for 
summer in shade. Transferred to permanent quarters in 
September. Flower under P.M.Gs, in February. 
(Alternatives: Polyanthus, Calendula). 
Early Spring 
Sweet peas, sown under P.M.Gs. in permanent quarters in 
early March. Covered until mid-April when they will grow 
on in the open to flower in May. 
(Alternatives: Larkspur, cornflower, Nigella). 
Late Spring 
Zinnias, sown directly under P.M.Gs. in early April are 
kept covered until late May when risk of frost has passed and 
they can grow on in the open. In this way, five weeks 
growing time is saved. 
(Alternative: Dahlias). 
Summer 
Cuttings may be taken in early June, both of perennial 
plants like phlox, Michaelmas daisies, etc., and also shrubs 
like philadelphus, spirea, etc. The cuttings are inserted about 
two inches square and a single P.M.G. will cover up to 50 
cuttings. 
Fall 
Delphiniums, pyrethrums, scabious in the herbaceous 
border. Cover these with P.M.Gs. throughout the Winter 
and protect from wet and severe cold. 
(Alternative : Fall sown sweet peas).
