ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS 
Annual flowers are those which grow, bloom, seed and die in one season. They 
are attractive in the garden—some for bedding, some for borders, some for rock 
gardens, some for climbing or trailing and others for their foliage effect only. Many 
are invaluable for cutting. There are annual flowers for every purpose; all are lovely 
and with proper selection, blooms can be had from early summer until frost. See 
page 45 for Perennial Flowers. 
ASTERS

varieties and types will be found in our list. Asters 
are one of the best cut flowers that can be grown.

February 25th to March 15th, and transplant dur- 
ing May. Splendid blooms can be obtained by 
planting the seed in the open about May 1.
