Annuals for QUICK COLOR . 
If you want lots of color quickly, bloom all summer and 
cut flowers by the armful, then annuals are the answer. 
Annuals will grow anywhere, in practically any kind of 
soil. You'll get the biggest, brightest flowers when your 
plants get direct sunlight for about half the day. For best 
results, use plenty of plant food. 
For early bloom, start the seed indoors and transplant. 
But, if you wait until after the danger of frost is over, 
choose some of the quick growing annuals and plant 
them right in the garden. 
There are many beautiful combinations and varieties to 
give you a garden of color all summer long. Here are a 
few which are sure to give you enjoyment this year.
