Florida flower gardens depend largely on an- 
nuals for color throughout the year. 
In the following pages we list and describe 47 
kinds of annual flowers which we recommend 
for Florida as a result of many years of experi- 
mental work and testing under Florida growing 
conditions. We have found these 47 kinds to be 
best adapted to conditions of climate, soil, rain- 
fall, etc. in Florida, which conditions are widely 
different from those in northern states. For your 
convenience, you will find the flowers listed 
alphabetically by common names.

Alyssum 
Plant from September thru April

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 car- 
pet 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

the dwarf, compact plants. Wonderful for edg- 
ings of easy culture and exteremely hardy.

ROYAL CARPET—ALL AMERICAN WIN- 
NER—This Alyssum is very dwarf, growing only 
2 to 3 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.
