Florida flower gardens depend largely on 
annuals for color throughout the year. 
In the following pages we list and describe 
47 kinds of annual flowers which we recom- 
mend for Florida as a result of many years 
of experimental work and testing under Florida 
growing conditions. We have found these 47 
kinds to be the best adapted to conditions of 
climate, soil, rainfall, etc. in Florida, which 
conditions are widely different from those in 
northern states. For your convenience, you will 
find the flowers listed alphabetically by com- 
mon names. 
AGERATUM—See Floss Flower—Page 12 
Alyssum 
Plant from September thru April 
Approx. time seed sowing to bloom—I1%% mos. 
Grows 6 to 8 inches high. 
Of close, compact growth, and even in height, 
Alyssum makes one of the most desirable Flor- 
ida winter border or edging plants, covered 
with tiny flowers which form a compact, 
showy carpet lasting for months during the 
winter season, if kept cut back. Set plants in 
garden or thin to 6 inches apart in 1 foot rows. 
LITTLE GEM (WHITE) Small white flow- 
ers completely cover the dwarf, compact plants. 
Wonderful for edgings of easy culture and 
extremely hardy. 
VY oz. 35c; V2 oz. 60c; 1 oz. $1.00; % Ib. $3.50 
Royal Carpet—All-America Winner 
This fine new Alyssum is very dwarf, growing 
only 2 inches tall and 10 inches across. Makes 
a sheet of rich, deep blue-purple color and the 
flowers make a solid mass so thick it’s hard to 
see any green leaves. Ideal for edging paths 
and flower beds or for mass planting, such as 
on a hill slope. For continuous bloom shear 
the full grown plants lightly. 
1/16 oz. 85c; % oz. $1.50; %4 oz. $2.50; V2 oz. $4.50; 
1 oz. $8.75

“Time to Plant” indicated under each flower 
is for central and South Florida. In North 
Florida, many kinds will not withstand the 
winter cold, and this fact should be taken into 
consideration with reference to time of planting.
